The desperate plight of Iraq's Assyrians and other minorities
#13
Iraq has an interesting 'inheritance' once that will level the playing field for most over the coming decades.

The Nuclear Wars the USA fought there in the two past Gulf Wars is already taking its toll.

No, we didn't drop the bomb - we just polluted the environment with low levels of radiation through the use of Depleted Uranium shells.

So, right now the Iraqi Government is using sleight of hand to hide this and many other fun facts about the long drawn out never to be fully recovered recovery from two Gulf Wars. Its economy still sucks, lots of infrastructure is still severely damaged and not even functioning.

While we like to think of the 'wars' as two wars, it was only one. Gulf War I started 2 August 1990 and was declared 'over' in 28 February 1991, followed by Desert Storm followed by a period of so called peace. however during that Peace there was a no fly zone and lots of bombing done by Clinton Administration. In short, the war never stopped.

The end result is 20 years of constant war that had left a whole heap of major and minor problems for Iraq. Instead of dealing with those issues, the Iraqi Government is going to defray attention by allowing the sparks of 'bigotry' to turn into blazes.

Much like when the politicians in the USA wants to pull our attention from such things as bad economy, bail-outs and other 'bad' stuff they push the Gay Marriage Button to distract us from the real issues.

These people are not so much unhappy with others in a bigoted sort of way as they are unhappy about economic, lack of infrastructure, dealing with sudden increases in deformities, cancers and other wonderful side effects from radioactive DU and the long extended war the USA inflicted upon them.

Clean up the water, fix the infrastructure and remove the top 8 inches of radioactive top soil (yeah I know, top soil is only 1-4 inches deep) and the bigotry will suddenly diminish.

But we know all of that isn't going to happen, we are not even acknowledging these other more important issues.
