or so whether talking about the palestinian refugee crisis or you know countries like jordan or lebanon etc. and i think the memories hang heavily over the heads of most people from the middle east. i just got back from nine weeks in jordan and spend an interesting and moving day inside a refugee camp which over the course of three years has become a third of the fourth largest city in jordan and has well over 100,000 people. it's incredible. my long-term prediction is just as the palestinian refugees under different circumstances became, these were temporary settlements that eventually became permanent settlements. it's hard to see how it doesn't go the same way. it essentially looks like a shanty town which at best has corrugated tin houses with tents and plastic hobbled how it will become a major city north of church and i think the same story is likely to play out across the middle east when we are talking about turkey or lebanon etc.. not all refugees are the same. there are many refugees that have integrated successfully into their society. some have come near and some have gone far s

one of the colleagues in the room said they were using foreign experiences, the anon, lebanon, cambodia, israel and etc., we had a civil war in the united states that lasted for years. and this is the war territory. it's an iraqi city and it is in the hands of another self-declared state authority. so each of the four of you or five of you, if you will, mr. moderator, davis a scenario of how long it would take before the city is like the city of atlanta or georgia and part of a unit again. >> would anyone like to answer that? spirit yes, please. [inaudible conversations] [laughter] >> well, the problem is this "new york times" article billingslea elated. we are dealing with a military that has been hollowed out by corruption. it includes the other militias. many of them come from the places like this themselves. it is a provincial movement and armed wing under this national guard and there's probably going to be some sort of effort to split the pragmatists within the ranks that can be brought over and the question is not so much the liberation but the government structures that are going to replace it.
