Christians fleeing Iraq at heights never seen before even under Saddam since 2003.
Installing a gov't based on Islam.
A man with close ties to Hezbollah running the country.
Another gov't decision that racks up trillions in even more debt.
I guess if you find those things to be positives, your cheering of that war would make sense.
Then you have Libya, where we're arming admitted terrorists.
Then you have the nation building in Afghanistan, somehow rebuilding a country run by the Taliban that harbored a terrorist who attacked us is the responsibiliy of the U.S. taxpayer.
That's what we get with status quo D's and R's running things.
There isn't much of a choice in that matter, every country in the region besides Israel has their governments based on Islam, there is no way to force the Iraqis to be different and not do this.
True or not it's a fact that we did it. And I can't dismiss that as one of the reasons christians have vanished from Iraq.
Ironic, isn't it? Saddam, the dictator, essentially keeps a lid on sectarian violence, thereby protecting Christians, even though that's not his main intention. Then, Saddam is overthrown by the most religious Christian country of the West, and Christians in Iraq end up paying the price for it.
I just wonder if Christians were targeted, in part, because Bush was seen as so religious in the Christian evangelical tradition.
