Listen to or download, "Karen Button reports on Iraqi refugees in Syria and Jordan."

With the media in the U.S. covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for about 2 minutes a week, it is essential that the plight of refugees is brought to the attention of Americans. Independent reporter Karen Button updates listeners on the status of Iraqi refugees in Syria and Jordan and highlights the hardships they face: food rationing, rules and regulations covering visas, sex trafficing young women, and the horrors facing couples in "mixed marriages" - once an acceptable facet of Iraq's diverse society.
