My high school biology teacher had a saying, “When bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.” In this case, humanitarian aid to the people of Iraq (basic needs like water and food) is in a crisis, the U.S. government is doing little to help, and most countries are reluctant to assist because funds would go straight to the Pentagon.

Remember kids, we chose to inflict this harm. I didn’t, maybe you didn’t, but this country did, and now the world holds us responsible.
