But for this to happen, countries with traditionally generous refugee programs should come forward and offer more places to receive Iraqis. The United States is a bad example: only 692 refugees have been accepted since the invasion – roughly the number of Iraqis who are killed every week.
这就只剩下第三种可能性—重新安置了。但为了实现这一点，在传统上都有慷慨的难民计划的国家都应该挺身而出，提供更多的地方接纳伊拉克人。美国是一个糟糕的例子：从入侵开始，它只接纳了692名伊拉克难民—约等于每周被杀的伊拉克人数。在二月份，布什政府宣布今年将会为7000名伊拉克难民提供重新安置。如果美国兑现这一承诺，它就前进了一大步。但领导干预伊拉克的美国现在应该带头应对受害者的问题。
