And there were as many reasons for fleeing the country as there were people. Most faced direct threat from sectarian violence and most of this violence was indeed due to lawlessness of their now wartorn country. Many people hated Saddam, but when given a choice between Sadddam and no Saddam (ie how their country is now), they would prefer the former. With no one in charge and fear reigning supreme, neighbors became murderers. Everyone is threatened. Sorry for such a delay in answering.... Hi JJ….we met a mix of sunni and shia and kurds.

Kurds? Are they fleeing sectarian violence, or the general lawlessness of a war-torn country? Are most of these refugees Sunnis? Kurds?
