Are you aware of the Iraqi refugee crisis?

I was looking into the Open Society Institute for job ideas and discovered this very informative forum on the Iraqi refugee crisis that has not been very well reported in American journalism. It doesn't seem that our government takes the negative effects of war seriously because there have been very few efforts to aid those displaced. Could it be that by recognizing the crisis of all these refugees, the government would be acknowledging that they have made great errors in Iraq?

Please take some time to listen to the speakers at this forum, who include a journalist, young Iraqi male, photographer, and a refugee advocate. OSI Forum: The Iraqi Refugee Crisis-Bearing Witness.

It makes you wonder, Can the argument on how the U.S. is doing in Iraq really be broken down into winning or not winning? It is much more complicated than most Americans are made aware. When you're considering your support for presidential candidates, ask "Will my candidate make issues like this in Iraq a priority in their administration?"

ZUMBA ZUMBA ZUMBA

For much of my life I have enjoyed dancing. It started out with swing in 6th grade and the when I learned how to move my hips a little more I advance to hip hop in college. Just a year ago I fell in love with tango and continue to advance in it. Last spring I attended the Saratoga Dance Flurry and was introduced to the quick stepping rhythm of merengue. In January I got lucky enough to find free salsa lessons in downtown DC. And what did I discover today at my gym (Fitness First)? You can dance and work out at the same time in a ZUMBA class. Take a look at this video and you can get a taste of why I (along with millions of others in the world) am so excited about it!
