and America should help them because America (Bush-Cheney) has been the main force in destroying them. The first Gentile Christians were Arabs from Antioch, on the Turkish-Syrian border. While their faith has largely been high-jacked by the false prophet Mohammed, there are still some remnants of the faith left, and Obama should protect them in Kurdistan with a no-fly zone, and put troops in north Iraq who would for once be proud of their mission there.
"Did you know they killed my children?" he interrupted.
Al-Azzur withdrew two photographs. One showed his boy, Aziz, the other showed his daughter, Ranin, both children had been shot in the head.
Over the years, 11 of his family members had been murdered.
"Life was better under Saddam," he said. "Nobody attacked Christians then. When somebody did, Saddam's police would find the killer and punish them."
As I sat over my vodka on my last night in Iraq, looking back at my service there and considering what I'd seen and what I'd heard, especially from Iraqis themselves, I realized it didn't matter what we'd intended. What mattered was what we'd done. We'd invaded a sovereign nation on a pretense, ****ed up the lives of 30 million people, started a bitter, bloody civil war by pitting one religious sect against another, then left and pretended it had nothing to do with us. We'd helped strengthen fundamentalist religious extremists in the Middle East and put intellectuals, journalists and activists at risk. A few people made a whole bunch of money, and a whole nation was left in shambles. Whether or not breaking Iraq into pieces had been the plan from the beginning, as some evidence suggests, the war had been nothing but a murderous hustle. The politicians who ran the war had shown no higher ideals than robbery and plunder, and I'd been nothing but their thug.
The 80 million dollar investment made by Haliburton in Richard Cheney before he became Vice President was an excellent investment: It turned into 39.5 billion dollars in contracts in Iraq.
if we really wish to express ourselves as a "Christian Nation", the first thing we should do is take care of the refugee children seeking asylum. One of the basic tenets of Christianity is that you look out for anyone less fortunate. These children are not responsible for the situations that they are trying to escape, rape, beatings, slavery, and forced labor for drug cartels.
Once we sweep around our doorstep we can move to greater things.
BTW - Acting as guardians for the Christian faith is not what this country is about. It is about accepting ALL faiths, or lack thereof, with everyone free to worship as they see fit. We don't need to create a theocracy and end up on par with Shariah law.
The people coming here are not all children,many are young adults ,some of them are carrying guns , and should be making a stand against the oppression of their environment.
These is not refugees, this is an invasion using the premise of children to forward the event.
Obama opened this door and Mexico fueled it .
you tube "death train"

Dick Cheney certainly lived up to his name, wonder how many tens of thousands of acres in Paraguay next to the Shrub he has?
