Ironically, Saddam used to protect the Christians from these sort of attacks. We spent trillions in dollars to destroy lives and infrastructure in Iraq, and make it much worse for Christians - thanks Bushie!

'Sectarian clashes in Iraq have been getting worse and worse throughout the year, and Christmas provided no real respite, though it did appear to shift the focus of attacks onto the nation’s Christian minority.

Major bombings targeted St. John’s church in Baghdad and a marketplace in another Christian neighborhood. All told nationwide the bombings killed at least 75 people, with large numbers of them Christians.

So Christmas is now formally declared a national holiday... probably done to lull the Irqai Christians into a false sense of security - so they would be easier to target.
