"Go figure"?! Much simpler explanation is that the official image is false. Middle East Christians live there and they know better what is going on around them than the average FOX viewer.

The FOX comment definately has a wiff of troll's bait to it... I don't watch FOX, I'm too busy typing up replies on FreeRepublic while listening to the Savage Nation on my headphones. Alternative media, that's what it's all about...

But okay, I'll nibble on the bait a bit. If FOX viewers would say "Go figure", then CNN/CBS/ABC/NBC/MSNBC viewers would say "Its those murderous Israelis. If only they would quit killing those innocent Palestinians who only seek a homeland, then Syria would be a kinder, friendler nation." NPR listeners would save the speeches and simply say "F*** Bush."

That is why one needs to be skeptical. And if you want to figure out what is really happening it requires work, persistence and some wit. Even people in media big part of the time are clueless, repeating rumors, propaganda, illusions and regurgitating their own bias or superstitions.

And this apply to life in general as it is written in a great play:

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

(Macbeth, 5:5)

Iraqi Christians flee to the country which they know first hand, where they have friends and relatives, where they are welcomed/where they can get visas and where they know language and customs. For some reason they do not flee to our friends Saudies.
