(Outside Reading #13) War

For the topic "war" I found an article about an iranian group that claims that Iraqi forces have been beaten an abused them as Iraqis try to keep the Iranians from a camp on their land. People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran has lived at the camp for 24 years and now all of a sudden are trying to be kicked off. The Iranians have turned to the U.S. in need for support but the U.S. considers the People's Mujahedin Organization a terrorist group. The Iraqi government has made a decision to finally close the camp. The group also sided with Saddam Heussaine in the 1980s and fought beside the Iraqis against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. I almost feel bad for the group. They aren't receiving any help from outside sources and have just been kicked off their land. I support the U.S.'s decision on not helping them if they may be a threat to our country. I'm surprised they have turned to us to help them out, I think they should have gone elsewhere.
