refugees, terrorism and the USAn article on the situation of refugees and how the new "security measures" put in place after Sept. 11 have impacted on their lives (basically making them much worse, and slowing down the rate at which the US accepts refugees). Funny. One would think that the US should be actually increasing its speed to make refugees feel better, and so avoid turning them to desperation and terrorism. But I guess that's just me.

"We're in hardship," Mohamed says, confused by the possibility. "Do you think somebody who is in hardship can bring terrorism? Someone who cannot even get firewood for cooking? My father has died of hardship. There was no food for him. He died like that. So for people who are helping me to get anything I need, I like them."
