Funny they can have refugee camps in Iraq but “Syrians” have to emigrate to the West. Wonder if it has anything to do with religion...

cheers

Infidel Christians were not allowed to be armed in Iraq under Hussian OR today’s “modern” Iraqi government.

I worked with Iraqi Christians. Beautiful families, and their small chapels are almost always iconoclastic. I made friends with a guy who operated a sewage truck for the FOB, but he emigrated with his family to Sweden in 2009 when his home was bombed.

He would smuggle in fifths of moonshine for $30 US, so us kids-with-guns could drink after hours, forget about the awful shit.

He told me how he had to pretend to be a cab driver as he left in the morning, by 4am, so that he wouldn’t be branded a traitor for working on the FOB.

This is an example of what NPR has done to journalism. Every story is written in the style of a novel.
