The Red cross has donated $100,000s of dollars. The US government gave $100,000 to refugee camps in 2007
37
What Could be Done ? If government ever really wants to get rid of terrorism, they could. All it would take is: Remove any "law" that makes self defense punishable on the ground or in the air! Remove "laws" regulating ownership and carrying of weapons Stop meddling with other countries and stop molesting and killing people in other lands. Abide by the very clear language and intent of the entire Bill of Rights.
38
What could we do? Contact your state representatives in congress and urge them to give more aid. Donate to the many charity programs that are dedicated to helping refugees
