Coalition of the unwilling?

Among Jordanians, Syrians and Iraqis, a growing sense of outrage that the rest of the world has washed its hands of this problem; that Britain and America in particular, have turned a blind eye to the fallout of their endeavour in Iraq.

"It's really the height of hypocrisy, countries that were instrumental in fighting this war, initiated this war, fought this war and that through their botch-ups have created this chaos in Iraq today these countries are refusing to receive refugees coming from Iraq...

...Sweden has a relatively generous asylum policy; more than 80,000 Iraqis have already settled here; now word's got out among the new wave of exiles, Sweden's been deluged. Last year it accepted half of all the Iraqis smuggled into the European Union.
