In a report on 60 Minutes our people in Iraq were referred to as exactly what they are; Christians of Iraq. The word “Assyrian” wasn’t used once. Does CBS “hate us”? No. They’re just no dummies. I said; where these things mean nothing, we can make whatever claims we want and people will indulge us, daughter of Sargon, grandson of Ashurbanipal, whatever…but for serious things it’s going to take a lot more than “we KNOWS”! In fact, as Dr Joseph told me, when the State Department or any other grown up wants to know something about us Christian minority, they come to him…not Aprim and certainly not Magpie…whose been having delirium tremens over in Assyria for some time now.

Everyone is suffering in Iraq right now, Muslims more than Christians. Christians may be the targets of assassination-for-collaboration or kidnap-for-ransom, but the Muslims are being targeted by the most ferocious and murderous nations on earth, in their own neighborhoods and playgrounds. While it’s understandable that a Christian news program would show interest in the plight of Christians…what on earth would be the reason for anyone to single them out as Assyrians? How can our ditzy people claim to anyone with the least amount of sense that they are being persecuted for being Assyrians? Hell, they aren’t even being persecuted for being Christian…this is a WAR, remember? There’s an OCCUPATION going on remember? What “persecution”? Our people have a persecution COMPLEX, and that’s a whole other animal.

Everyone knows how much effort Iraq has put into preserving their ancient heritage…they know Iraqi scholars have traveled the world lecturing and writing about Assyrian and other cultures…they’ve seen the museums and restored sites…seen the despair Iraqis felt at the vandalism America brought. There’s no indication and further, no reason whatsoever for Iraqis to be “persecuting” Assyrians since they ARE Assyrians.

What our boys mean is that THEY, as Christians, are the SAME AS the Assyrians…and are the ONLY allowable Assyrians; the only ones THEY’LL allow. All they do is make fools of themselves but then it comes with their dumb idea of a heritage.
