2.77 Million Iraqi People Displaced Says UN

Displaced Iraqi Shia children and their father (L) sit inside a mud hut at a squatter settlement in southern Baghdad on 12 July 2008.

The number of internally displaced Iraqis rose to more than 2.77 million people by the end of March 2008, some five years after the US-led invasion, the UN refugee agency said in April.

More than half of the displaced were uprooted after the al-Askari shrine bombing in Samarra in February 2006.

Internally displaced Iraqi Shia children gather at the entrance of a hut made from mud and cooking oil cans at a squatter settlement in southern Baghdad.

With over a hundred thousand Iraqi martyrs and counting, along with the continuing displacement of Iraqi civilians; as well as the American military body count on the rise, is this U.S. President George W. Bush‘s idea of liberating Iraq?

Along with the same type of scenario happening in Afghanistan, looks more every day along the lines of extreme genocide in most peoples book.
