I would like to speak in support of a more aggressive relief effort in the Middle East. I do not want to discuss today the policy of whether or not we actively support the insurrection in Iraq. Or whether we support a separate Kurdistan or the separatist movements in Africa. Those are complicated issues for anther time. Starvation is not a complicated issue. Neither is death from exposure. As Americans. we cannot stand by and ignore the pictures of Kurdish refugees or the starving millions in Somalia. Ethiopia. and the Sudan. Today we have tons of equipment in the region that can help these people.
