Iraq War

by Johanna Berrigan | 11.18.2008

Among the many horrors of the tragedy of this war, destroyed, displaced, scattered families are a sad reality. There are an estimated 2.7 million people displaced within Iraq, and more than 2 million more living in neighboring countries, primarily Jordan and Syria. Most, if not all, refugees left Iraq because of the violence; some have received direct threats, others have had family members, friends, and neighbors kidnapped or killed. Whether the Iraqi people have “resettled” in this country, are waiting in Jordan or Syria for resettlement in another country, or are displaced inside Iraq, all of them have experienced terrible trauma, loss, and continue to face many difficulties.

The Iraq Refugee Crisis

Scattered Families

“Without the human stories that bring people and their suffering so vividly to life…there is little chance of public opinion reengaging with the biggest political calamity of our time.”

Moratorium - Five Years of War
19 Mar 08
by Rich Gardner | 03.19.2008

We sadly observe the fifth anniversary of a war that was based on lies, has led to almost 4000 US deaths, roughly 30,000 wounded and has cost or will cost up to $3 trillion. Iraqis have suffered horribly, with over a million dead, millions displaced and a shredding of their whole society. We call for it to end!

The 5year of G. W. Bush’s War on Iraq, March 19 is a day that no one remembers fondly. Iraqis remember it as the beginning of a nightmare that hasn't ended.
