It is shameful that the Bush Administration and its dwindling supporters on the Hill continue to embrace the fantasy of ‘victory in Iraq’ oblivious of the mayhem created by the occupation. A recent U.N. study reported two million Iraqi refugees have fled to neighboring countries and another 1.7 million have been internally displaced. Our ill-advised immoral war has created the largest refugee crisis in the Middle East since the ejection of 800,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948. This would be equivalent to approximately 37 million Americans losing their homes. Bush and his supporters continue to display a callous disregard for the sanctity human life despite their shallow pro-life rhetoric. How many more US soldiers and Iraqi civilians must perish before we demand an end to this occupation and bring our troops home? How many misguided Republicans insist on placing party loyalty ahead of the welfare of our troops and nation?
