Or watch Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN this morning? This show will be repeated at 1P Eastern time.

These stories break my heart......too bad they don't reach the right people.

Yes, I have been following the HONY stories. Hard to imagine the fear, terror, and hardships these families have been through. I too wish everyone could/would read these stories. They are frightening and heartbreaking. People just want to live and love and raise their families like all of us do.

Yes I saw it this morning.

Very touching.

I've been reading faithfully and shedding a few tears too-

All these families want is the chance to live in peace. They have such high hopes for their new lives in America. I sincerely hope that they are never disappointed-

I've been too busy reading Mercury one's christian refugee plane from the middle east funded by Christians. They were targeted even while trying to flee by air and it's a miracle they made it past the people who were ready to shoot them down. 149 are in Slovakia. It's too bad these people were not welcomed here in the USA.

For some reason, the Christians are being excluded and even actively deported despite being the most victimized. Ethnic cleansing a la WW II. Part of it could be their UN designation since they're not safe in the refugee camps, and unlike the Syrians, a safe zone won't really help them. Since most Syrian refugees don't even want to come here, I'm surprised that we're intent on spending 10 times more than the safe-zone option.

If anyone should be brought here, it's the Yasidis (sp?) and Christians.
