Right you are, freedom44. Good job blasphemer-in-chief Bush who worships Allah. Your stupid war on Iraqis has made life hell for Iraqi Christians.

You're an imbecile of the first order.  Can I say that here?

The NY Times knows how to provoke a predictable reaction.

Do a Google search, keywords: "Chaplain, Iraq, July or August, 2004"...

A widespread viewpoint that conflicts with the agenda of those reporting the "news":

{ Former chaplain reflects on Iraq’s lessons

...Your stupid war on Iraqis has made life hell for Iraqi Christians.

Sadly, the part about Iraqi Christians is true. The part about the war being stupid, I believe to be false. We went in there because Saddam was developing WMDs, and was in bed with Al Qaeda. The war was justified. Okay, don't believe there was a drop of bleach in Iraq, let alone enough poison to kill 5000 kurds? Fine. Then look at it from a geopolitical perspective. We send the message to the Middle East, you mess with the USA and we will overthrow your nation. But nontheless, I believe the stated purpose for the Iraq war is legitimate.

I will say this much, though; it sound positively bizarre that anybody would flee to Syria for safe haven. I mean, "Syria" sounds like "Hezbollah" or "Islamic Jihad" country, not a safehouse for Christians. Go figure.

I think many Americans are just learning what Islam really means --- and it's pretty sad that an Islamic country actually needs a leader like Saddam to keep order --- maybe life was better for Christians under Saddam because he tortured Islamic Iraqis to keep them under control, just like he chemically sprayed the Kurds to keep them under control.

It seems to me that instead of fleeing, the Christian Iraqis should stay and fight for their country. If they only flee instead of fight, they don't deserve anything more.
