Very good. I don't know. In my opinion, I don't think the Americans went there to save the people of Iraq; I think the Americans went there to save their own policy and their own goods and their own ideas.
Sure, maybe in 10 years Iraq may be a better place to live. There are too many factions. For a hundred years people have been killing each other in Iraq--the two different factions have. So it's not so easy to say that the people of Iraq have a better life today, or that they're going to have a better life next year. As I said, maybe in 10 or 15 or 20 years, they might come together and realize they're all humans and that they can all live together. But right now, certain factions are killing certain factions every day. People really don't have mercy for each other; after somebody has killed your son, you want to take revenge. That's what's happening in Iraq.
I visited northern Iraq last May. I was there for 14 days. The situation was worse than it was 30 years ago when I lived there. So to be honest with you, I don't think it's going to be that easy.
The Americans are taking some refugees, a very, very small percentage, and that's just happened recently. After 9/11, the rest of the world basically has had to take the burden. That's my opinion. So I think a country like Canada has the room and the special programs, and I think we should really look at the refugees from Iraq, because they are desperate.
Thank you.
