The U.S. accepted more than 6,500 Iraqi refugees from northern Iraq in 1996.

Today our leaders are discussing a possible war against Iraq. Before this war begins, someone needs to answer how many Iraqi soldiers like Hussain Al-Hussaini a.k.a. John Doe 2 were resettled in the U.S.

In addition, during the mid to late 90's, over 6,000 Bosnian Muslim refugees were resettled in Jacksonville,Florida.
