I was listening to an NPR report last night about Masoud Barazani. He apparently went to China in his youth and became a Maoist, learning everything he could from the Chinese Socialist system. He then forged ties with Russia and became a Marxist and learned how to lead his people's struggle to autonomy and independence, by creating militias, Pesh Mergas, etc., and fought an armed struggle, and this is how the Kurds took our homeland inch by inch.

The report said that in order to gain the worl'd sympathy, he foged numerous alliances with heads of states from various different countries, to help supply him with weapons, financial backing, and supplies.

Now try to compare this with our own situation. Where is our struggle? Where are the alliances we would need to help us gain our independence and autonomy? Where is OUR armed struggle? It is easy for Assyrians in the Diaspora to talk about what THEY want when none of them are willing to do what the Kurds did to get Kurdistan!

We are DREAMERS and TALKERS, that's all!
