Totally *not* PC

ostarellaI was browsing through news reports - something I rarely do since I value my blood pressure - and saw this little tidbit from February:
"U.S. officials hope to offer as many as 12,000 Iraqis the chance to resettle in the United States by the end of 2008."
Okay, now, granted a great many of those would be women and children - but one has to stop and wonder why we allowing able-bodied Iraqi men into the US while our own young men and women are over in *their* country, being maimed and dying for *their* liberation. Over 4000 Americans dead now. And we have how many Iraqis over here, living the good life, instead of fighting for their own damn country?
I mean, am I that dumb or is there something seriously fucked up with that kind of logic?
