>>Refugees, and "people who where put at unusually high levels of risk because of their involvement with, or support of the US military", are two very different groups.<< Tim - I'll grant you the distinction. Of course, many of the latter would be a subset of the former. The numbers still don't support your idea that members of the second group are staying in place because we won't take them in. I don't see how it changes our moral obligation to them, however. We were the ones who decided to invade, and who then could not provide even basic security. - Allen
