I posted this in GD, but thought I'd share it here.

Christians are fleeing Iraq

I cannot believe that we are actually liberating and democratizing that country.

Does anyone think when and if (that is a big when and if) the US leaves that country that religions, other than Islam, will be allowed?

How do you think all the US christian fundamentalists are taking the fact that their brethren are getting kidnapped, killed, or are having to leave Iraq, all because of their great christian leader, bush?

1. They're completely oblivious

and they think they're all Muslims.

They've no clue.

Christian churches and individuals have been targeted since August.

Some people reckon that there are more PHD's in Iraq than in America. Many of them were assisinated at the beginning of the occupation. The middle class has largely departed the country.

You have to read the Iraqi bloggers to know this stuff.
