...sometimes you have to ask of what use is this Assyrian business....I mean things have to have some utility, serve some purpose.

So far this claim hasn't brought unity, or peace, or commonality...it hasn't brought joy or success or respect or money or anything tangible you can point to, except loss.

It hasn't done any of the things it claimed it would...and yet with every failure the religious side of the coin says "you have to have faith and hope". Faith and hope don;t work in international law...force does....overwhelming force.

No amount of "nationalism" has led to schools, hospitals, colleges, museums....nothing. It hasn't created one umbrella or a hundred under which we could drag any number of people and then call it a "nation".

There's literally nothing there...except hot air.

I'm not the one saying this is a dead-end road with a brick wall at the end...I'm not failing this stupid dream, the dream is a failure all by itself.

Whether we are ten different groups making ridiculous statements or one big group making ridiculous statements doesn't matter. It's the ridiculous statement that's the problem.
