I've offered you proof that Christian persecution didn't begin with, and has nothing to do with the invasion. That there is less order in a post-war struggle is too be expected.

And, nothing I have written says that there are no people in Iraq trying to do good. That, there clearly are.
You wrote: "Before the recent invasion, Iraq was a country where various religions co-existed. Not any longer. Islamic fundamentalists have forced the others, including christians, out." This statement suggests that pre-war Iraq was tolerant of Christianity... and that is BS. It further suggests that you know what the future holds, which you don't. Any added post-war restlessness and lawlessness is to be expected and is not necessarily indicative of what the future will bring. I repeat: Religious persecution has
nothing to do with the invasion. Got that?
McTag wrote:None of that should mask the fact though, that an illegal, immoral invasion has taken place and that tens of thousands of innocent people, at a very conservative estimate, have been needlessly killed.
Bolded portion above should be replaced with "
changes my opinion" and then it is a reasonable statement. "illegal", "immoral" and "needlessly" are all reflective of your opinion, NOT FACT. Repeating your opinions and discussing them with like-minded people doesn't make them fact.
BINGO! 
Or, is it perhaps people doing what they always wanted to do in the expected chaotic aftermath of war?
