Iraq's Exodus of Pain

There is nothing we can do for the estimated 1,028,907 Iraqi's who have died since the U.S. invasion, and we will never completely know exactly how many have been killed, one never does when one invades and destroys a country!

But there is Plenty we can, and should, do for those who survive the hell on earth we forced on an innocent people. It is our Overwelming Responsibility!

With Extremely Strong Apologies to the World Community, for what is now and probably coming, we may be able to garner some help in fulfilling that Responsibility!

Recently Angelina Jolie, Goodwill Ambassador to UNHCR visited displaced Iraqi refugee's inside Iraq and in Syria.

Below is a report from Newsweeks Christopher Dicky on the extraordinary imagery released after that UNHCR recent trip.
