The sad state of Iraqi refugees

I found yet another example of the hardships that the Iraqis are facing right now. Yesterday I wrote about the process that a refugee goes through in order to come to the United States. Today, I am going to post a slightly over dramatic (but still telling) article from the New York Times about how Iraqis are having to turn to the sex trade to get by now that their livelihoods have been torn apart. Like I said above, the piece is a little bit dramatic, but I think it shows how desperate some have become.

Though this isn't the greatest piece of investigative journalism (I don't think it is much of a surprise to find out that women have to turn to prostitution in times of war) I do applaud the attempts by journalists to keep this issue in the news everyday.
