Pakistan Refugee Crisis, in Today's News 07.27.09

Pakistan Refugee Crisis. One doesn't know what to say about the latest stage of one of the world's worst refugee crises.

The United States pushed Pakistan to wage their military assault in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. This action quickly produced two million refugees who overwhelmed the government of Pakistan and the relief agencies of the United Nations. The United States did very little to relieve the crisis and the media found the crisis unworthy of any significant coverage.

Now Pakistan has let about 350,000 people return through checkpoints to their homes. And now, we're supposed to think this is a big victory!!

Not a word about the hardships these people faced, having left homes and work to live in a sweltering camp with little food and water.

The cruelty of the cryptocracy is almost beyond description.
