It is all involved parties responsibility to care for the refugees. We tell them we're bringing democracy- a better way of life. We enlist their help in finding those flagged "most dangerous", all while whispering the ears of the people that this will bring your country to glory. And then what? Nothing. We make a few arrests and then leave those who helped and their families to fend for themselves? We just throw them to the wolves? That is neither how you build allies nor how you treat human beings. We were supposed to be coming to liberate, to bring a new life. Now they are worse off and want to leave and we tell them no- go to back your country. Thanks for the help, sorry for any inconvenience but we do not want you and it’s not our problem. It's inhumane; it makes us just as dirty as those we wanted out of power. Has a country built around fairness and equality how can we morally sit back and say, "Our hands are washed"? If we are unwilling to take in these refugees who we once needed and now need us then we must be willing to accept full responsibility for the fire that we will be fanning. We have to provide what we promised; otherwise we are only creating a new breed of terrorist. They will be left in a land where it seems more and more like every man for himself. Humans can adapt extremely well. And the old saying is 'if you can't beat them, join them". Is that what we really want, more Iraqis jumping on the jihad ban wagon as means of simple survival?

I suppose, raycorfe, that you didn't notice that before the American invasion Iraqis were living together in peace. Moreover, if you look at all that so called aid given to them, you would notice that large percentages of it have been left unprotected and stolen by western corporations, and used for maintaining an acceptible western lifestyle in the greenzone and on American bases. Billions have been spent an arming and rearming the so-called Iraqi Army, after our man Bremer summarily dismissed the standing Iraqi Army with no other work, thereby arming the entire country, and giving those without arms an incentive to get some. Finally, even the money targeted for reconstruction in Iraq was given to American and Multinational corporations who apparently found themselves unable, even with billions of (taxpayer) dollars stuffed in their pockets, to actually do the work they contracted to do.
Lots of American contractors and arms dealers have benefited, and continue to benefit from this expenditure. Which Iraqis have benefited from it?

How can you possibly blame the US for the Iraqi refugee exodus? it is Iraqi killing Iraqi, Muslem killing Muslem by the 1000s in the most despicable ways, that is what is driving the Iraqi out of their country. When they stop Iraq will be the recipient of billions of US tax payers dollars in aid.

The U.S. and those who aided and abetted it to invade a country on a false pretext and caused the death and displacement of millions should take the full responsibility. The UN will not be able to do it alone. It is also a shame that poor countries like Syria take the brunt of it while the so-called coalition of the willing stands by in silence to watch the misery and the suffering.

The World Refugee Day has come and gone hardly noticed by world media on June 20th.There are more than 4 million Iraqis made refugees since the war has started. The U.S. has admitted less than 700 of them a far contrast to what happened during the Vietnam War. Who do you think should bear the responsibility?
