Take Care of Our Veterans First..Un to send 13,000 Burundi refugees to settle in US
Thursday, October 19, 2006 12:58 PM


More wasted funds that could and should be spent on our Veterans before the money goes to non-citizens!!!

While I do have compassion for refugees, if people run away from their homelands than things will never change.

Look at the UN rationale for 13,000 Burundis' to be shipped to the US:

"They are to be allowed to resettle in the US as part of a massive scheme to reduce the number of displaced people in Western Tanzania, the UNHCR said. "

"Most of the Burundian refugees in Tanzania came between 1993 and 1996," Mr Corliss explained, "however, this particular group had actually lived outside the country for 34 years."

"Many of them don't have access to land, many of them have never seen Burundi, they were born outside of the country.

"In their case, it was considered that they would face particular reintegration problems if they went home," he said.

Ok, so lets get this straight, the African Union, African National Congress, and their other countries on the continent will not take them, they have been outside of their own country for 34 years, and this is the kicker, moving them to the US to live on our tax dollars they somehow will have access to land? Coming all the way to the US they will not "face particular reintergration problems"?

If we are bringing everyone here (on our tax dollars) than I move to cutoff the foreign aid money spicket to those countries where the refugess are coming from.

The problems in your home country are not mine....Stay home and fight for change.

Bring Our Troops Home From Korea Now!

K2 GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS: Korean Peninsula Flashpoint: Failed Policies

In his satirical piece A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift offered a 'solution' for the starvation and political realities of Ireland at the time. I wonder if the Koreans are paying attention?

Starting with the presidency of Kim Dae-Jung followed by current president Roh the Republic of Korea after fifty years of enjoying the benefits of our relationship (admittedly with some unfortunate difficulties with military stationed in-country), Korea chose the path away from a strong defence and slept with the Kim Jong-il in the North and now everyone must pay the cost.

President Roh ran on an anti-american platform and made absolutely no attempts to curb the anti-american demonstrations, in fact it appears that he supported them.

It is time for the United States to give the Koreans what they have been asking for their right to self-determination and that includes defending themselves against any aggression from North Korea and/or Communist China which has all but claimed the entire Korean Peninsula as a part of China.

Bring our troops home now from Korea using the savings to assist our veterans whom by the way gave their blood and lives for the South Koreans.

Bring our troops home applies not to just Korea but any place that we are not welcomed. We must protect our own borders, ports, and other facilities against terrorist threats.

Korea is not our problem any longer nor do we have a moral obligation after fifty years to pretend any longer that it is our problem.
