I wonder if numbers for those seeking assylum from Iraq have increased in the last few years? I guess it would be politically 'sensitive' for the US and UK to admit to the fact if it were true. Looks as bad to live in Iraq as it has ever been.

Umm...there WAS no emigration allowed from Iraq for some 30 years (Saddam's son-in-law could testify to that, were he alive)---so I guess the requests WOULd be higher

There are some Iraqi's who definitely deserve to be allowed to emmigrate. Translators and others who worked with and helped our forces there under a terrible threat from the enemy factions.

What terrorists? There are no terrorists in Iraq. There are 2 armies fighting a civil war and a rebel army fighting the occupying americans?? Dont let Rush do your thinking for you, his brain has been perforated by synthetic heroine abuse for years and years.

Yes it's going to be a hard uphill struggle, and yes some of them are going to die, but isn't it the land THEY love?

As far as giving them papers, why? To me it would seem crazy to let them in. Let them stay there, follow our direction, build up their own communities, their own jobs, their own military and police forces to combat terrorists, and their own democratic government.

Bring them here and it will just be a bunch more with there hands out on the welfare line, that americans will have to support.

Thats absolutley correct. While they are sueing the US to let them in, we are sending more troops to Iraq. WTF! Its time to pull some US troops out and let the refugees work as terrorist fighters in Iraq.

Uhhh, why are they wanting to come to the US when we are claiming that a mere 21500 more troops is all we need to turn this thing around??? Hmmmm, all of a sudden this surge thing is sounding like a 'replace the scared iraqi' thing with american made combat troops. Good grief.

Whitehawk, are you posting sober??? Read my post again, this time for comprehension. I didn't say a thing about the "surge" did I?

If you want to respond to my post at least have the curtesy to make sure it's my post you are responding to particularly when you quote it.

Yep you guys really kicked butt. With 100 times our numbers and greatly superior technology it only took you about three centuries to win a complete and total victory.

Not a bad effort for such "primitive" people...eh?

You need to learn your people's history a bit better then. The diseases which Europeans brought to North America by some reports account for up to 9/10's of the deaths experienced by many Native American tribes. Often these malady's preceded the colonial expansion.

Some tribes, like the Comanche, were considered the best light cavalry in the world's history. Had the tribes had their original strength of numbers before disease wrecked their populations, history would have been very different, and probably much bloodier.

In some cases those diseases were deliberately spread among the native population by the Europeans. Small Pox infested blankets anyone?

Could it not be contrived to send the Small Pox among those disaffected tribes of Indians? We must on this occasion use every stratagem in our power to reduce them.

you can't win a war with the"best light cavalry in the world's history" i think you need a little more that that.

Even 19th century Britain allowed immigrants from conquered nations to live here, with a particularly large influx in the 1950s and 60s.

Yes but there comes a time when the system can no longer support such an influx.

You cant just let people in willy nilly anymoe
