That could be the precursor to peace between the Arabs and the Israelis. Right now. we seek to alleviate immense human suffering. Our reaction to the plight of the Iraqi refugees. the Kurds and the Shias has been sadly deficient. We must reclaim the mrral highground. answer our obligs.tionh. and provide protection and al to these brave peoples. and we must answer our critics who say this war was fought only for oil. The Kurds and the Shias answer to President Bushs exhortations for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. brought down the wrath of Saddan Husseins murderous army on top of them. To escape massacre. the Kurds fled on a death march through the frozen. muddied mountain passes. We must not. can not. and will not turn our backs on the desperate state of these refugees. Passage of this aid package is but a drop in the bucket. but a muchneeded drop.
