Cheney picking Iraqis out of his teeth, one civilian at a time
In the fall out from the war in Iraq 4,000,000 Iraqis have been displaced. Run from their homes. An additional 650,000 to 1,000,000 are believed to be dead. That’s an estimated 5,000,000 people out of a 20,000,000 population that are no longer there. That’s just absolutely evil:
Taking into account refugees who have fled the country, more than 4 million people have been displaced by the turmoil in Iraq, which has made Iraqis the largest group of asylum seekers in the world.

More than 4 million Iraqis have been uprooted — some during the former regime and hundreds of thousands of others since 2003. About 2 million Iraqis are in Syria and Jordan alone, and another 2 million are displaced internally.
