For a country so rich in resources. it is disturbing to hear the stories of families trapped in slums begging for clean drinking water. Mothers scourge to find books and paper. for school lessons. It is no wonder. Over 4 million Iraqis have been displaced from their homes and have sought refuge in neighboring provinces or nations. The United Nations estimates that 50.000 Iraqis leave their homes and become refugees every single month. That is the equivalent of one Biloxi or one Idaho Falls every month. It hits home even more when we think of a population the size of San Rafael or Petaluma. both in my congressional district.
