<p>[FORCED</a> MIGRATION REVIEW (FMR) - Iraq](<a href=“http://www.fmreview.org/iraq.htm]FORCED”>http://www.fmreview.org/iraq.htm)</p>
<p>The increase in aggressive, hostile occupying forces (sometimes mislabeled as “the surge”) led by General Betrayus has resulted in an additional one million refugees, 600,000 in Syria alone beween July and October.</p>
<p>Overall, it makes the number of refugees in Darfur look like a picnic.</p>
<p>Good issue from my alma mater.</p>
<p>Assuming your assessment is correct (and I am not saying it is correct), it is not our responsibility to make the Iraqis get along. If they can’t play in the same sandbox, then they belong in separate sandboxes and it’s their fault, not ours. There is no reason for the U.S. to remain in Iraq another million years until the Iraqis learn not to hate each other.</p>
<p>How differently minds interpret what they read #2.</p>
<p>I see nothing supporting what you are saying in the OP and link.</p>
<p>Good read. Thanks.</p>
<p>I expect that estimate is as accurate as the JHU estimate of civilian deaths–off by a factor of ±400%.</p>
<p>Sorry, JHU is what?</p>
<p>I agree with Razorsharp, except there is no reason for the U.S. to stay in Iraq now. It is now time to recall our Warlord-in-Chief - he’s done enough damage to hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. The aggressive, hostile occupation has failed by every measure our state sponsors of terror put forward for it, so just declare victory and pull out.</p>
<p>People didn’t believe what was happening in Darfur either until the U.N. High Commission for Refugees issued its report - the same group that put forth this one.</p>
<p>With the things going better the left has to turn to new areas to try and find problems. And then embellish the hell out of them.</p>
