Refugees may finally start arriving from Iraq!

Finally, there is some good news about the Iraqi refugees, though it is hardly a huge cause for celebration: the US has finally set some guidelines for how the refugees will be processed! This means that while the government agreed to let 7,000 refugees in, none of them have started to arrive yet. This MSNBC article does note that SWEDEN will be taking in more refugees than the United States, and those that come here will undergo a more careful scrutiny than any other group. While I am joyful that there are finally some steps being taken with the Iraqis, I am dismayed that this is taking so long when there are so many in danger because of the help they provided to the United States.
