The trage...Karen,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for such a touching story. The tragedies that our country has visited upon the people of Iraq are nearly countless. With over four million Iraqis displaced, it's impossible for me to imagine the country ever coming close to what it once was. I saw a story today in my local newspaper, stating that the UN was going to dramatically increase its staffing in its Baghdad office dedicated to resettlement of refugees. I was very happy until I saw that the staffing was to increase from two people to five. I really don't know how the people in the Bush Administration can sleep at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
