Exactly. Hussein was an evil sob, but he left Christians alone, because Christians did not involve themselves politically. There were 2 million Christians in Iraq in 2003, now there are less than 300,000 and dropping.
Assad in Syria is an evil sob, but the alternative will be a slaughter of Christians -- the alternative would be more dangerous to America and Israel.
Muslims have to be governed by evil SOBs or they go berserk and get out of hand.
Seen any truly democratic muslim country lately? Seen any in their historical past?
Don’t expect to see any in the future.
