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.

Yeah, but that was in 1933. Hussein stabilized the country (with an iron hand, to be sure), but protected minorities (Except for the Kurds. Boy, he hated the Kurds.) The crackdown on Iraqi Christians is directly attributable to our invasion of ‘03.
