So far, it's true that the surrounding countries (being fellow Muslims) have accepted them. But, at one point, I think there will be a push that the US should also welcome the refugees. For Afghanistan, I believe there have been some small groups entering the US as refugees. I'm not suggesting this to happen. I simply want us to be prepared if such pressure comes up.

If that Iraqi truck driver quoted in the NYT is any indication (and I know several Arabs, and they all feel this way) he wil never "be" an American, he will always be an Iraqi - apart from us. Our agenda will never be his agenda. Our national interest will never be his interest. We should think long and hard before we bring more Iraqis - or Muslims in general - into the US, if they cannot live in peace with each other and with Christians, Jews, secularists, atheists, and anyone else who is likely to be his neighbor in the US.
