Funny how you give lip service to the oppressed, yet the Christians of Iraq are fair game and can't get any help at all from our military.

That's a fair point. When I was there the majority of Iraqis who worked on our camp were Christians. We permitted them to open up small shops to sell DVDs, coffee, snacks.. and other items to our soldiers.

Some would have considered that they received favorable treatment, over and above what the Shi'as and Sunnis received.

The REALITY is that the Christians in Iraq, as well as Jews and other "Dhimmis" have ALWAYS suffered persecution by the ruling muslim governments. Under Saddam there was persecution of Christians, even though it's evident that it's worse afterward.

It's just the plight of ANY MINORITY living in a Muslim state. They are Dhimmis and possess few rights. Look at Egypt where Muslims are kidnapping Coptic Christian girls and attempting to forcibly convert them to Islam:

IOW, i call major BS on your 'sympathies' for the oppressed. You're just another bloody warmonger.

And you're the Judas who would sell ALL OF THEM OUT for 30 pieces of silver. Just as you're willing to sell out the young people of the Muslim world to those who would martyr them for their fanatical, militant cause.

Now why don't you go back to to what you do best, namely pulling wings our of butterflies and abusing kittens and puppies?
