More of the divide and conqueor, instead of a unified Iraq, it seems many are wanting it broken up into little factional areas that stand no chance of being economically viable and hence have little chance to be soverign. |

They've suffered enough persecution. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 461839 They are not the same people however as the old Assyrians who had as their capital city Nineveh. The name "Assyrians" is a misnomer. They are Christians who basically still speak Aramean, the language of Jesus of Nazareth. |
