*WILL TEN
DOLLARS A MONTH SERIOUSLY IMPACT YOUR BUDGET? For a few people yes, $10. a month
would impact their budget, but for most, would it really? Be honest? That's
really all it takes. All this fundraising is in fact very silly. We have way
more in terms of resources than we need to do this. If you are going to be here,
make this a slightly higher priority please. Thank you. / Marc Ash - Founder,

The Cruel Jest of American "Humanitarian Aid" to Iraq
Juan Cole, Informed Comment
Cole writes: "One is happy that the US has dropped food aid for the Yezidis trapped on a mountain after they escaped the so-called 'Islamic State' of self-styled 'caliph' Ibrahim.
