  ???Many new exiles hope to relocate to the United States: no small irony given that the instability they're fleeing was set in motion by the United States itself???
  
  The objectives of the US in the Middle East, post 9/11, quite apparently did not have anything to do with immigration. Christian refugees from the Middle East relocating to the Land of Immigrants would most certainly make very grateful and patriotic future citizens, in spite of their hardships. Why is that bad for America, considering that most residents of that part of the World seem to have mostly very negative feelings towards America of late? Sir, where is the irony in all this?
