"There are 750,000 Iraqis living in Jordan with all of the horrors of refugees – and none of the benefits." Noah Merrill, consultant to AFSC's Middle East Task Force, spoke to audiences in Des Moines and Iowa City recently about the people and the stories he encountered during the six weeks he spent with refugees from the Iraq war who are now living in Jordan."Before pointing your finger at Jordan, understand the US role in all of this," Noah cautioned. "The US knows how to tear things down—we just don't know how to build them back up. After the US invasion, passports were declared obsolete, and the system put in place has been an abysmal failure. Further complicating the situation is the international communities' refusal to declare those displaced by the Iraq war as refugees."

The frog-in-boiling water model helps us understand political upheavals: how citizens wake up early enough (or too late) to respond to social and economic oppression. Sometimes the greed and arrogance of Ruling Classes makes them careless and social waters heat too quickly. Sensing doom, alert citizen-frogs escape or revolt. Or they stay complacent and boil. The Bush Administration has turned the heat up on us, explaining why nearly 75 percent of Americans believe their country is on the wrong track and 70 percent think the economy is worsening.
