If anyone wants to help, a good way to start would be contacting your local church or diocese and make them aware of the situation the Assyrians are in right now. Together you can come up with ways to assist them. With it being the Christmas season, people are a lot more willing to donate their time and money to help those in need so it's the perfect opportunity to get started and find other volunteers.
Muslim ethnic cleansing. Jews first, Christians second, Shiites / Sunnis (depending) third.
Ping. Prayers for the persecuted...
Oops sorry about that. Now I wonder. Why didn't they face this level of persecution before the invasion. Hmmmmm.....But, but...I bet they've all got a purple finger so that's okay I suppose.....
Again, partition Iraq and Lebanon
Yes, cause Lord knows partioning of existing land to create new nation states worked so well in 1918....wait a minute, where did Iraq's current borders come from again?
*I would prefer 1 million Assyrian Christians in exchange for 1 millions illegal Mexicans*
You are so correct. Here in San Diego we have over 30,000 Iraqis, most are Chaldean (Christian) and are educated,work, etc.
We also have tens of thousands of illegal Mexans in San Diego. Work, education, HA! not when they are handed everything at tax payer expense and are not motivated to begin with.
It's the Muslims' fault, but it's ours too. We opened this Pandora's Box, these people were in no special danger before we got there.
I think God can forgive a 14-year-old for failing to give a theologically correct statement whilst being mobbed and murdered by members of the Religion of Peace.
I guess letting 9500 Muslims from Russia move to the US because of persecution in Russia wasn't establishing a precedent of favoritism!! With each passing day I am more disgusted with President Bush and some of his stupid policies. People are dying because of them. We should have allowed the Christians to move to America, instead of forcing them to stay where they will all surely be killed. At least they were safe when Saddam was in control.
F**king Islamoanimals...
See my tag line.
We have 11 children, two of them married so far.
We are Christian.
Eighth grandchild on the way.

Ah I see. It's acceptable to break up a nation if you take into account all social aspects? Gotcha.
You seem quick to point out the mistakes, so what is your solution to the endless sectarian and ethnic violence?
Hmmmm, wait a second...oh I know the answer to this one. Stop interfering in the internal affairs of other nation states? If they want to hammer it out, let 'em. If they don't, that's their business. I can't wait until the next 'conservative' (probably Bush) recommends we get involved in Darfur. It's 'for the children' don't you know?
After which Saddam promptly spat in our faces by invading Kuwait, undertaking the development of chem/bio weapons, and beginning work on a nuclear weapon.
But, really, our biggest problem is that, with Saddam now deposed, we've got 50,000 wannabe Saddams running around loose, with easy access to weapons and willing cohorts, and we've NOT got the latitude our troops on the ground need to hunt them all down and kill them.
Southwesterners know, when you get too many rattlers, you call a hunt, and let folks that want to come in and wipe 'em out by the umpteen thousands. We've got to treat Iraq, er, correction -- we SHOULD HAVE treated -- the insurgent/jihadist infestation in Iraq in exactly the same way -- BEFORE we transferred control to the provisional government.
NOW, however, it's probably too late. Because we kow-towed to domesting morons and rushed the transfer of control, we very likely cannot achieve the goal of handing over a stable Iraq to an elected, democratic government.
We botched the job, franlky, by ranking the establishment of an Iraqi government ahead of completely stabilizing the country.
We continue to blow it by believing that we can, by pure virtue of excellent training, perform the Iraqi equivalent of building an interracial police force in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1866.
We ain't got the 'sand' to make it real.
We can ONLY ultimately win -- that is, give the Iraqi people a stable, free, democratic country -- if we put the present government on 'hold' and get down to big bad and tyrannical with every sand rat we find until they've all been bled into the dust. Brutal, violent annihilation is the only langaue these jihadi freaks understand, and our stupidity has been in mistaking THEM for people who a) ARE civilized or b) WANT to be civilized. They are neither, and as long as they exist, they will be an uncivilizing and destabilizing pox on the whole region. Without their being made to vanish, Iraq will never be either stable or free.
>but why did the kid say he was not a sinner?<
Because he was a kid? A kid who tried to be good?
May he rest in the arms of the Lord.
This is so sad. These Moslems are fanatics. Nobody mentions the once large Iraqui Jewish population which was forced to flee for its life.
Nobody was safe under Saddam.
All of what you said, plus, he was a 14 year old kid, not an expert on theology.
When asked if youre a dirty anything, the instinctive response of most teenagers is an antagonistic one.
