Iraq the new boat people?

Are we bound for a new boat people world wide immigration in huge numbers from Iraq?
Given over half Americas voters want out of this war it must be considered that uncontrolled migration is about to take place.
Is this the fear Bush has in mind? his quaint quote about the Vietnam wars ending and boat people may highlight our future.
The killing fields came as a result of American intrusions that weakened Cambodia's government and allowed Pol pot to take over.
We have much to be concerned about if unchecked immigration takes place.

I certainly would hope that we do not have new waves of boat people from anywhere. Most of the past boat people have not integrated but have set up countries within our country that will give us nothing but headaches for many decades into the future.
If we take in immigrants for heaven's sake, let it be people who will merge into our own culture and who will benefit Australia.Our own people should have the right to demand that.One only has to look at Europe to see what can happen to Australia, if it hasn't already happened .

We're ALL immigrants, some have just been here longer.

Out of ANYONE who deserves refuge, it's the people of Iraq.

WE DISPLACED THEM.

I haven't met an Iraqi in Australia that wasn't here for just a simple better life. Isn't that what we're fighting for?, isn't that what democracy is for?.

Test me, see if I have any understanding of the subject.
Iraq is lost, soon America will leave, refugees will leave too in huge numbers for western country's.
America will re paint the war and let Rambo win it in film but the refugees will come.
It may well be the story America uses to leave will talk of Iraq's leaders betraying that country but no other way out exists leave Iraq.
Or face decades of costs and deaths for no real results.

Given our government's eagerness to join the Coalition of the Warmongers that removed the Iraqi government and has reduced the country to chaos, I think we are morally obliged to expect and accept our share of those Iraqis who have been displaced by our war, or who were silly enough to support the occupying forces.

Isn't there a well known Western saying about reaping what you sow?
