To escape the vengeance of Saddam Hussein. over a million Kurds left their cities and villages for the harsh uncertainties of the high country. Right now. to save lives. the primary goal of our military lifesavers and the international community is to convince the Kurds to leave the mountains. And the Kurds are now coming off the mountains to these tentcities for one reason: They trust the United States to protect them from Saddam Husseins retribution. That was the message given to us over and over again by the refugees. But a great uncertainty remains: will the Kurds use the tent cities as temporary homes as they hope? Can they ever find permanent safety in their own hometowns?
