“key summary:

"The horrific human rights abuses perpetrated by Saddam Hussein as leader of Iraq are well-known. Less well-known is the fact that Saddam's stance toward Christian churches was relatively benign, and his regime cracked down on violence against the country's Christian minority, mainly Chaldean Catholic and Eastern Orthodox believers. Now that Saddam's secularized government has been toppled, minority faiths may be in danger from fundamentalist Islamic groups."”

“That Saddam...what a nice little boy.”

“And Saddams stance toward Judism ??”

“That's interesting, ped, because in my old 'hood, every singal Chaldean I knew (the whole hood was Chaldean, I was the only white bread there and in the school) fled because of Saddam's abuse.”
