About Democracy in Iraq or Ethnic cleansing of the Christians?
 
I enjoyed your article very much and I am grateful to people like you who are willing to put such information out for everyone to see. For far too long, the Assyrians have been silent.
 
The massacres mentioned in your articles are only the tip of the iceberg and constitute a small percentage of total massacres inflicted on the "Assyrian Nation". The only reason we know about them is because they were recorded after major powers of Europe had taken over the Middle East. Only God knows how many more massacres suffered by our people have never been recorded. If the Assyrians were left alone as the empire fell, the numbers wold be in hundred of  millions or more.
 
The Kurds and all of the other Muslim nations in the area know this and they are trying to destroy us. We are not living in Iraq but they are all (Shites, Sunnis, Kurds) living in the "occupied ASSYRIA". The Kurds along with all of the others sects know well that the only indigenous people to the area are the Assyrians and no one else has any claim or rights to the land unless the Assyrians want to give that to them.
 
It is up to the Assyrians to take this matter into their hands. If we are serious about a home land, then we should follow the proper protocol and learn from other nations long forgotten who have come back.
 
The Kurds are not harassing Assyrians because they are Christians, they are harassing them because they are Assyrians. This has always been the case throughout the History. The Kurds, Shites or  the Sunnis have no History. They have no accomplishment or contributions to the world except for Terrorism both old and new.
 
Take away the Assyrian accomplishments and contributions to Mesopotamia and your are left with absolutely nothing. The Abbasid Caliphates well knew this and that is the reason they encouraged the Assyrians to establish and be the founders of the Baghdad University and many other institutions.
 
If this was not the case, then when the European powers came to the Middle East, they should have discovered greatness instead of backwardness, stupidity, superstition, poverty and illiteracy. 
 
I reiterate my message that it is up to every member of the Assyrian Nation to get involved to reverser the course and re-establish the Assyrian Home land.
 
Assyria was a great nation and IT CAN BE GREAT AGAIN.
