							| Democratic 
							presidential candidate, Barack Obama, announced in 
							Pennsylvania yesterday that if he is elected, he 
							will withdraw US forces within 16 months, leaving 
							only few soldiers to guard the US embassy, like the 
							case of US embassies in other countries. Thus, he is 
							sharply contrasting himself from the  pro-war 
							republican candidate, 
							McCain, 
							who said he would fight in Iraq for 100 
							years  (INA, 4/1/08). |

						| Millions of Iraqis were 
						forced out of their homes to be displaced inside Iraq 
						and in other countries, as a result of the US invasion 
						and occupation of Iraq and the following non-stop 
						five-year war in the beleaguered country (INA, 4/1/08). |  |  |
