Absolutely. Under Saddam the Christian minority was protected and even allowed to participate in government. Then we installed the current regime.
Syria today protects its Christian minority and even allows them to participate in government. When will the US try to change that?

Ridiculous.

First of all, no one was allowed to participate in government - it was a totalitarian regime.

The one nominal Christian in Saddam's regime was the Muslim-named traitor Tariq Aziz, who changed his name from Michael Yuhannan so he would not appear to come from a Christian family.

Christians in Iraq were tolerated because they allowed the state monopoly on the sale of alcohol to be conducted through them, so that the Muslim Saddam would not be seen to be directly selling alcohol.

Then we installed the current regime.

There is no "regime" - there is an elected multi-party government.

Pimp for dictators and spit on the accomplishments of America's war dead on some other forum.
