Iraq's war on Christians
In 2003, President Bush argued that "the establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution."
Unfortunately, it hasn't quite turned out that way:
This morning, the terrorists who had killed 44 of Baghdad's Christians at their place of worship, came hunting them once more â?? this time in their homes.
They struck 10 times just after 7am in six different places in Baghdad, almost all of them Christian houses.
Mortars damaged two homes in the south. Improvised bombs damaged four in the north of the city and four in the east. A total of four people were killed and 25 injured. Worse was the effect on the city's already traumatised Christian minority, which now seems more fearful than ever â?? and potentially poised for another mass exodus.
The more acts of violence like this occur, the more it looks like Iraq is sleep-walking back into a blood-drenched nightmare. And taking the U.S. with it.
