Before the war, Christians in Iraq were free to worship. If this mess ends well, Iraq will resemble closer our friend - Saudi Arabia (or Iran if it ends bad).

If, in the process of attacking the current administration, you find yourself defending the Saddam Husseins of the world, perhaps you ought to step back and very carefully consider whether you actually give a damn about the Iraqis at all, or if you simply consider them a convenient stick to use in beating those with whom you happen to disagree. It is difficult to see how anyone interested in actually improving the Iraqi lot in life could proceed from the essential thesis that the tyrant wasn't really so bad after all.

Tell me, where Christians had more freedoms - in Saudi Arabia or in Baath ruled Iraq? Do you care at all?

Where in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers does it say we should give a damn about the Iraqis?
