Arlington:

We bombed the country back to the stone age .....

Sorry.... Facts are facts. We destroyed their army, blew up their telephone exchange, government buildings and a few of Saddam's palaces. We did not target civilians, oil fields, dams, bridges or power plants. It turns out, however, that Saddam had built palaces and filled army depots with weapons instead of maintaining Iraq's infrastructure. This is well documented by UN and many foreign nations who offered billions in aid. They ARE in the stone age, but we did not bomb them into it. (Saddam DID fire LOTS of anti-aircraft guns and missiles at us during the first week of the war and much of those explosives ended up falling back on Iraq's citizens, but even this could not compare to 12 years of neglect.)

But we certainly don't have to "build refugee cities here". All we would have to do is give them airfare to Mexico. Each year at least 500,000 cross our Mexican border and find jobs in America with no government intervention!

Saddam buried hundreds of thousands of his own citizens in secret desert graveyards... millions of Muslims when you add in the Iranian and Kuwaiti citizens his army killed.

If humanitarian reasons justify bringing them over here now, why didn't Clinton "rescue" them back in the 1990's and Carter back in the 1980's? Reason: they need to fix their own country.... all we can do is kill off the dictators we (our fathers) put in power after WW-I and WW-II.
