Surrounded By Hundreds of Iraqi-Americans

Today I was surrounded by hundreds of Iraqi-Americans. It was great! Assyrians in Chicago had a rally in one of the City parks to demonstrate their complete solidarity with the vow of President Bush to remove Saddam and his regime from power. Speakers included Assyrian-American politicians, other area politicians seeking votes, an Assyrian serviceman on his way to Iraq, highly decorated veterans of other fights for freedom including Normandy.

It was a cold day with a bitter wind but that did not deter this gathering of patriots from calling for total support from America for its military effort in their ancient ancestral homeland.

Flags and placards waved in the bright sun carried by young and old. Old Glory unfolded over all joined by flags of one of the oldest nations on earth, Assyria. And a fine flag it is. I think I will get one.

Today's Assyrians are not the dread armies of old but Christians calling out for Liberty and Freedom for their fellow Iraqis. Many carried placards with the portraits and names of Iraqis murdered by Saddam and his thugs. A graphic illustration of the face of terror and the nature of Saddam's Terror routinely ignored by the "Anti-War" demonstrators.

We listened as a veteran of Normandy called for support of President Bush and linked his fight on the beaches of France to that on the deserts of Iraq. This came from a man who had shed his blood for his nation and was the 2d highest decorated Assyrian-American. A man whom we should listen too rather than Michael Moore or Martin Sheen.

Opinions to the contrary the real people of Chicago are patriots and support the removal of Saddam and his regime of Terror.

God Bless our Leaders in this Just Cause.

Illegal? the terms of the 1991 cease-fire agreement have been violated by the Iraqis, therefore the ceas-fire no longer needs to be honored by the Americans. Nothing illegal about it at all.

Back when I lived in Chicago, there was a booming Persian community as well. I bet they really want to see freedom brought to Iran once we get done with liberating Iraq.

The best steak I ever had was in a Persian resturant called Resa's north of Wrigley Field in Andersonville. It was marinated beyond words. Hmmm, steak....

9/11/02 was illegal. And who gives a rat's ass about the UN? They're part of the PROBLEM.

"You can't have it both ways; you want to submit to U.N. authority, an organization whose member states are a majority of dictatorships or totalitarian governments, an organization that has more Muslim States than Republics. If that is your decision than give up the protection you are granted by the Constitution.I don’t trust people who hold dual citizenship; they tend to be two faced back stabbers."

BRAVO!!

A simply supurb dressing down of a common, pedestrian-grade *dolt*.

Someone had to say it to that phoney baloney & you did it better than anyone could've.

...effectively corking an obnoxious, gaseous anal orifice, quite nicely.

WTG justshutupandtakeit!!

You make us all proud. I could not make it yesterday but did mention to several who said they might attend.

[arasina]

“Beno”, isn't that some kind of medicine to prevent Gas? It doesn't seem to be working; you consistently fart from your mouth, you must be suffering some bad cramps,

LOL! Well stated, as was the rest of your post. The U.N. is a coalition of mostly dictators who don't give a hoot about the United States Constitution.

"I was surrounded by hundreds of Iraqi-Americans. It was great!"

Been there, done that, and yer 100% Right!! Same way with most Cuban-Americans...recent immigrants to America from Totalitarian Regimes are often the most rabid defenders of FReedom, 'cuz they've seen the damage Socialism/Lib'ralism/Progressivism/Fascism causes first-hand!!

Viva Libertad...MUD

[justshutupandtakeit]

Yep. I'll take those folks over such as Peter Arnett and the media clowns any day.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Resa's eh? Sounds good. I'll put it on the list. Of course, the list of great places to eat in Chicago is so long I am not sure if I will hit 300 lbs or 80 before I get to them all. LoL.

[Mudboy Slim]

I turn the channel every time Peter Arnett is announced or even previewed...dude best not plan on retiring in America, imho...MUD

[justshutupandtakeit]

Na, let 'em retire here. We need some one to laugh at.

It was Warner Park 6621 North Western

I knew it well, what a skate park they have! Being my kids are homeschooled, I took them to Warner for activities. It is one of the most beautiful parks in our city, another is a few blocks away, what charm Indian Boundary Park has and even animals ;) No, not the ones that BBQ and liter ;)

Not only is Beno a sleeper.......He signed on 3 weeks BEFORE 911. Did he have foreknowledge of that horrible event? And why did he wait till now to begin posting?
