And So It Goes....

According to the news, there are are now over 2 million Iraqi refugees spread out over the Middle East, many in Syria and Jordan. About 500,000 of these are children. According to UNICEF, many of these children have now missed years of school and have been psychologically traumatized by the war and refugee life. This often displays itself in over aggression and a lack of trust.

And so the cycle of violence will continue. Another generation of angry and dispossessed people. People without a stake in any community. People who will always be on the margins,a target audience for extremists. People who will tell their children and children's children how the US pushed them from their homeland.

I'm thinking that cannot be a good thing.....
