  I saw the PBS NOW piece on Nour and Lisa's story and was very moved. I commend them on their perservearence.

  My question for Lisa, was what, if anything, was the most frustrating administrative obstacle in her attempt to bring Nour to the U.S., even after she was acknowledged by Congress?

  what an amazing woman, pair of women, you have on this morning. The strenghth demonstrated by both of them is inspirational to all of us that feel impossibly distanced from this sort of horror. And they are an inspiration for us to get off our sofa's and help. In any way we can.

  I don't understand why I am in tears as I listen to these two brave women. Humanity still has beautiful faces amidst all the ugliness bestowed upon us.

  The US administrations attitude not supporting Iraqi refuguees is plain despicable, as the rest of the tragedy it has started.

  Steven Vincent and Nour Al-Khal are very powerful examples of the courage and sacrifice of people willing to risk their lives to bring us the truth about what's going on in Iraq.

  Their story moved me to tears. I'm sorry for his loss, and (for once, in this long conflict) it is good to be proud of my county for giving her a new life here... despite the long, exhausting journey.

  God bless to both and I hope their experience opens the door for more people who risk their lives and stand with us.

  This reporting is why WNYC is so important. Every part of the conversation

  Thank you.

  ... ok, PS I can't be the only one reminded of Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran in so many ways by their story. Makes her reference to that 'conflict' even more unsettling.

  Thank you Brian (and your team) for the important work that you do. Examples like this show what a difference people can make.

  Please keep up the discussion on this refugee crisis, we shouldn't forget about it.

  Just recently a politician tried to bring a couple of hundred refugees from Iraq to Switzerland (where I live) and was blocked by legislators. So my home country (the US) is not the only place where this is a problem. The US did start this war, however, so these people should NOT be forgotten.
