The Iraq disaster and the loss of 4,000 American lives in that futile and destructive war can be laid right at Dubya's door. Also the lives of thousands of Iraqi Christians, slaughtered by ISIS which filled the vacuum created by the removal of Sadaam. A colossal mistake.

The good news is that it's now OK to say this on FR. A decade ago, it would have got me banned.

The persecution of Christians really started back in ‘03, clearly it wasn’t as bad as what was to come with ISIS; but it still happened.

A lot of sources say this. Everyone can research it for themselves. And it goes without saying, there was already some persecution of Christians while Saddam was in power. But it became a huge disaster.
