To be fair, Iraq was a very secular country and minorities were protected by Sad-am’s regime until we kicked over the anthill in 2003. Then all hell broke loose.

Iraqi Christians have grievances with Muslims that predate King Faisal.

If you ever wonder why Assyrians/Chaldeans dislike Kurds, for example, the horrific massacre of them in Simele, Iraq by an Iraqi general of Kurdish descent was the reason why.

It’s really tragic.
