I just had to haul this over. Wellfed Alkhas is a force unto himself..he can also concoct history and greatness and newness and revolutions sitting by himself at his kitchen table. In the old days, when he was still in the closet, Wellfed tried to work up one of these self-congratulatry pieces on me..like this piece of tripe about Yonadem Kanna being the greatest thing since sliced bread. I had to keep toning him down..telling him I was not "great"...I was not the "Assyrian Michaelangelo"...that therw as nothing "revolutionary" about me. With each bucket of cold water I threw on his hormone charged pen he gew more and more sullen till the real me stood before and there was nothing for him to get a hard-on over. I guess Kanna wasn`t around when Wellfed had this orgasm...It`s just too purile to bear any comment.

Like most fulsome praise you`ll get from one of the boys, it`s intended first of all to boost the ego of the writer, like he could even know such a person. Kanna is another in a long line of opportunists the boys have ALWAYS hoped was the second coming. He`ll be gone soon and you`ll never hear more of him.

"Mr. Kanna is the embodiment of a new kind of Assyrianism that most of us are no longer familiar with – one that combines round-the-clock diplomacy with the historic enemies of the Assyrian people and the “numbers-over-names” policy which has polarized the Assyrians as never before. This new sense of the self promoted by the leadership of the Assyrian Democratic Movement comes as a surprise even to many of the Zowaa comrades in Iraq and abroad. The result is a counterweight to the indigestible Assyrian politics of the last 20 years.

Facts: the Kurds killed the Assyrian Patriarch and have until very recently massacred and assassinated the Assyrians. The Chaldeans are Assyrians who converted to Roman Catholicism and are now encouraged by their Church to assume a separate national identity. Syriac is a term used to denote a form of Aramaic language. Yonadam Kanna’s response to these essentials of the Assyrian socio-political identity: Accept thy Kurdish neighbor, love your Chaldean brother as yourself and respect Syriac as the cultural fiber of your inherent nature that differentiates you from your Moslem neighbor. In short, take a chill pill and let me deal with this mess in Baghdad until further notice.

His antagonists have called him a Kurdish puppet, a Marxist freedom fighter, opportunist, traitor, and our staff’s favorite – a sell-out. In truth, Mr. Kanna is a realist, a tactician par exellance. He carefully walks the thin line between historic truth and modern reality, certain of the weight placed on his shoulders. We all watch his interviews, read his brief comments in the news, and attend his public rallies. We simply cannot get enough of him. Thanks even to the commentators on the AssyriaSat, we have no choice but to learn more about his influence on the political arena of the Assyrian nation. Yonadam Kanna is everywhere. Only when you think that you know Kanna intimately, he will surprise you with an unexpected move. He crosses the thin line and quickly steps back to give us the illusion of his unadulterated determination to bring the Assyrian struggle to the finishing point. Most of us like to believe that he will; in fact most of us ignore the warning signs and just watch him continue his walk.

Yonadam Kanna has been enjoying the photo opportunities of the last 18 months while plannings for bigger roles for himself in the new Iraqi government. He and his ADM advisors in Europe and the United States are carefully fashioning utilitarian policies that will bring greatest good to the greatest number of Chaldo-Assyrians in Iraq. It is this unorthodox behavior that troubles most of us who are reluctant to allow tainting of our struggle for a territory in Mesopotamia and the historic Assyrian identity for the sake of greatest good for the maximum number of political partisans. Welcome to the new Assyrian politics!

Long after his relentless power struggle in Baghdad, history will have much to say about Yonadam Kanna. Whether he is reviled or respected for his policies, one thing is certain that he has forever changed the landscape of Assyrian politics and has galvanized a new generation of Assyrian activists and nationalists around the world.

Zinda Magazine congratulates the Honorable Yonadam Kanna, Secretary General of the Assyrian Democratic Movement, and the members of Zowaa on Mr. Kanna’s selection as this year’s Person of the
