I’m afraid Bush and buddies really messed up when they allowed the Iraqi government to be established on Islamic law. It seemed like a mistake at the time. Now, we’ll see it was a blunder of Biblical proportion.

We won the military victory. It was up to us to make the terms for the new government. Just imagine if after WWII, we said to the Germans, “OK, set up your new government. Sure, base it on the teachings of Adolf Hitler.”

I fear that trouble for Christians in Iraq has just begun, and might eventually result in them going into exile to avoid being killed.

We should have set up a MacArthur like government and ran things. Shown them how nice it is to have a fair and competent government.

Too late. The majority of Iraqi Christians (Chaldean Catholics) have fled, many to the US. They arrive here with only the clothes on their backs. Those who remain behind are persecuted and killed.
