The decision to pull American troops out of Iraq is a double edged sword for these Christians in Iraq also known as Chaldeans/Assyrians. Chaldeans are Roman Catholics who have lived in Iraq since the beginning of Christianity. But today their situation in that country is desperate.
Theres modern day ethnic cleansing. Chaldeans are being killed for being Chaldean. Ten years ago there were Two million Chaldeans in Iraq, today only two hundred fifty thousand remain and that number is shrinking. They are getting out of Iraq because they live in constant fear of being murdered.
Most of the Chaldean Christians in America at least agree with President Obama's decision to pull troops out of Iraq. But its also factual that that decision could very well come at a price for the minority of Chaldeans left in their ancient homeland.
Im interested to hear others thoughts regarding this topic which is very near and dear to my heart.
