...reading Aprim and Hanna and their dizzying minutae about syriach, siryabi, suyrori, symbili...I get the feeling I`m listening to two Native Americans trying to get the details of how they got scalped straight.

What Apache would argue they had their land stolen? Which Comanche would beg to differ? And where does this make any difference to what either can expect?

It`s like fighting over who screwed up as the Titanic hits bottom...where`s the relevence?

Where the rest of us go wrong is taking these boys seriously...like they really expect triangles and rights and guarantees. To them, as with everything else of insubstabtial substance in their "Assyrian" identity...at the end of the day it don`t matter nowhere nohow.

Grant them everything they claim...or argue every point...what difference does it make as they won`t get anything one way or the other...except perhaps another good shellacking? They`re always very careful to steer clear of anything by which you could judge or measure their actual ability to get results. They want a country but can`t start a language school..they want guarantees from raped and sodomized Muslims but they can`t build a cultural center where their precious whatevers can be expanded upon..instead they demand the sky and moon too and say if they don`t get that they`ll just destroy it all for everybody cause everybody is so mean they won`t give in to them like their mothers and sisters always did.

I`ve been struck for some time by how really timid and cautious they are...daring only those things that they and everyone else knows haven`t a chance in hell of happening as they demand they must...and then blaming cosmic forces and the evil nature of their enemies because they couldn`t get water to run uphill..or make a full meal of rabbit puckey.

I chose instead something hard enough and never attempted by one of us, but within the realm of possibilities. If, for instance, the Bolivians could get a gift statue of Simon Bolivar installed in San Francisco...why couldn`t Assyrians, not Christians, get a monument of Ashurbanipal installed? Seems reasonable enough...but it wasn`t easy.

By contrast to give prooves left and right and then to say, in THIS world with THIS history for stealing lands and legitimizing them through force...to insist on having lands "returned" based on THIS flimsy evidence...is at the same time the hardest damn thing to GET done..but the easiest damn thing to DEMAND.

That`s where they get fucked every time and make themselves utterly useless by way of achieving anything for the Heritage. Hanna wants a country...but he draws tatoos and cartoons. Take away his grnadiloquent rationale for why he must get Iraq...silence him over that once and for all and what have you left? Excactly. Same goes for Aprim. Strip his life and speech and character from demands that all Muslims bow to him...and who do you see standing before you? Right again.

Shut me up...take away this thingie...forbid me from ever mentioning Assyria again...and what do you still see on the horizon? You see the first Assyrian Monument anywhere in 2500 years...and if you think about it..it ain`t no wonder I`m seen as the enema of Assyria while Hanna is the great white hope...because the boys all know they`re SAFE with Hanna and Aprim, Jassim, Pisheeta et al because these boys will never even leave camp. No expects any of them to actually lift a finger or break a sweat or risk a thing in these prooves and demandses they seem to issue like Paul does Pisheetas. Whatever else they may say or do, being their kind of Assyrian MUST NOT cause them to break the slightest sweat...disturb any corner of their smooth, unruffled minds....being Assyrian HAS to remain the easiest and silliest damn thing you ever heard of...or how would they qualify?
