The People,

You are very correct in your assumption and the direction that we always fail to focus on. It seems everytime we discuss our Nation's affairs and what we need to address in order to propel our movement, we get sidetracked.

...we still haven't come to grips with the fact that we aren't a nation We keep using that word as if saying it often enough will make it come true...like a sort of political Ave Maria. You WANT a nation..and it's consistent with our knack for not doing but asking instead that we would believe that by SAYING something we will GET something.

Sidetracked on Islamic states or how Christianity is not like Islam or other fruitless debates that have been conducted for ages and ages without neither conclusion nor consensus. We need to refrain from jumping on the diversion bandwagon and remain focus on the future of ourselves and those most precious to us--our children.

...I agree...that's why I don't take all this "nation" talk seriously...or the constant repitition about what was "done to us" as if we were the ONLY people in the last 100 years, or ten thousand years, to have suffered injustice. The majority of our people found it not difficult at all to live in peace and harmony in Muslim countries...certainly in the last 50 years...but a small Christian minority, who felt their religion deserved more power, dreamed up of these atrocity stories and tried to justify their calls to sedition by claiming they were trying to "save themselves" from genocide and whatnot.

.. ,the very BASIS of these hopes and dreams for an "Assyria" are built on such a shakey foundation that you can't raise even a one storey shack on it....let alone a "nation".

...we should be concerned that our children will be far more easily Westernized and "lost" than they were ever Arabized..that we'll lose them that much faster in the Christian West than we did in the Muslim East..and that we'll help them run away faster from reality or an ability to be self-reliant by this constant hammering on what they are OWED rather than encouraging them to BUILD something with THEIR hands. The first thing our children need is to see their Assyrian Heritage, not their Christian one, proudly displayed around the world...they need to see the repsect and interest OTHERS show for it to offset the humiliation these "political leaders" and "nationalists" bring down on us all...

For those living comfortably in the Diaspora, we need to raise awarness of our Nineveh Plains and the Christian Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people's NEED of provincial autonomy under the Central Government.

..that is an absurdity waiting to become a tragedy. After all these years telling us that Kurds and Muslims are our ENEMIES and how Simko did this and Sidiq did that...and about how America and GOOD Christians would come save us and about how Islam HATES us and has MURDERED us and has ROBBED and CHEATED us...you NOW come saying, "well, looks like the Christians did nothing for us so we have to ask the SHI'AA"??? Are you serious?

This as well as continuing to support aid societies delivering vitalities to our united people should be our focus and our first real step.

...the ten cents worth of aid you send to "help Assyrians" is offset by the trillions being spent to hurt everyone in Iraq...it wasn't an earthquake or a natural disaster that struck Iraq, for which your blankets and band-aids and tin cans might have helped..it was an attack by Christian nations using REAL and not imaginery WMDs with trillions of dollars in tax-money...with OURS added to the total...that devastated Iraq....you are sending a dime of aid for every ten billion in destruction...this isn't "help". Iraq was wealthy and had a high standard of living...take away your HURTS and they won't need your AID. Keep hurting them and nothing you send in aid will help anyone.

Let us discuss, fruitfully, how we are able to attain these two fronts that will carry our Assyria to reality.

...better to realize that your Assyria, first dependent on the goodwill of your Christian "friends"...and now dependent on the goodwill of your Muslim "enemies"...is never going to happen. Cut your losses...stop forcing more loss on OTHER people...while you are safe and prosperous...and focus instead on the countries where you are NOW and making an honrable name and place for the Assyrian heritage of your children...leave Christianity to fend for itself..it hardly needs your help..it is our Assyrian heritage that is dying...not our Christian one...Christiaity is a booming business around the world..it needs nothing more from us...but this precious Assyrian heritage...which, oddly enough, wasn't valued by you to begin with...is in dire need...we are in danger of losing all ties to Ashurbanipal, Ishtar, Gilgamesh and all the rich heritage in our OWN history to serve the interests of a Jewish sect....
