I can’t comprehend how cruel and shortsighted we as a “civilization” have become destroying the very peopled root of our “own” . If we speed up the situation for Iraqi’s as with a fast motion camera over the next few years it equals genocide - depleted uranium warheads being used on civilian populations, I hear, just for starters. And the Christians who have the longest history of pacifism, with no militias to guard them are the most persecuted per head of population because increasingly they are seen as collaborators with the occupiers in their own country AND in Jordan and Syria which already have stark population/economic problems and MILLIONS of Iraqui’s they can’t support. This makes the non-Christians even more resentful of ALL Christians which threatens the social/economic peace of these countries. As the destruction of Christian Churches etc where our troops have stayed and the killing of Christian clergy is being regularised and Christian homes are now considered “halal” by Moslim cleric extremists there are no homes or neighbourhoods for the Christian Iraqi’s to return to and still they are not regarded by the UNHCR as refugees.
