Cardinal Says U.S. Morally Obliged To Protect Iraqis

i feel for the victims. all of them.



Hussein was a dictator, but overall he protected his Christian Iraqis. he kept a diverse, multiethic, multicultural and multireligious country together, however brutally.



then we invaded. the people fell to the tender mercies of the Shia and Sunni. we didn't care. at least a third of the 300,000 Iraqi Christians left Iraq, and the others were subject to danger day and night.



but so were the remaining Kurds, Shia and Sunni. they were all subject to being terrorized by our military (ex: Abu Gharib, Fallujah), our mercenaries (Blackwater/Xi, et.al.); and, most of all, from their own countrymen: organized crime, militias, insurgents, fundamentalists, etc.



the invasion, as most people are aware now--and many were aware in the beginning--was unneeded, except for the need of the United States to expand its hegemony and take control of Iraq's resources.



except for John Paul II, where were the representatives of the Catholic Church speaking out against invading Iraq? why only do so now? Christian Iraqis are no different from Muslim Iraqis; they all suffer worse than they did before the invasion.



so why the sudden pointing of the finger at the United States?
