But at least the Islamic nutjobs were kept under control and persecution of Christians - if it existed, was sporadic and did not receive support from the government.
Now that Saddam is gone, Muslims there are acting as Muslims generally do when they don't have a military strongman standing over them - IRRATIONALLY.
The U.S. should grant religious asylum to all Christians from Iraq - or any other Islamic paradise for that matter, who wish to immigrate here.
As soon as U.S. forces are removed from Iraq, the central government there will collapse into the customary chaos, violence, and religious intolerance characteristic of all Muslim “democracies”.
Which is all the MORE reason that, when we pull out, we should pull out ALL our troops, and not leave some small token military force there which only serves the function of being a better target for the customary attacks by Islamic radicals.
The jihad has been going on for 1400 years and fueled by an unholy alliance between the insatiable appetite for oil trillions of dollars in jizya tax - muslim satanists have managed to almost completely exterminate the Christisn holdouts.
