U.S. Dubious Achievement Award: 37 million refugees

Most know the U.S. needlessly killed hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Middle East and Africa since the War On Terror began twenty years ago next month. But few know it has produced at least 37 million refugees, possibly as many as 59 million, during the same time. Only WWII created more refugees since 1900 during wartime than the U.S has with its lust to revenge the 911 bombings. Brown University’s Cost of War Project has provided the first comprehensive study of the mass movement of folks displaced by the U.S. in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and the Philippians. In a cruel irony, the U.S. has restricted the number of refugees that can enter the U.S. from 30,000 in 2018 to 18,000 in 2019 and beyond. U.S. policy is tops in creating refugees; a flop in alleviating their suffering.
