I know we mustn’t play “what if” games....what if Lincoln wasn’t assassinated...what if Kennedy had lived...or what if Aprim’s parents had married...would this have altered the course of history...?

But what if “Iraq” had never been? What if the name Assyria had remained...what would be different today?

Right off the bat we’d know that Assyria would be a Muslim country with a Christian minority(oddly enough exactly what that region is today). We’d know there was no point in Aprim and Jassim demanding an “Assyria” of their own, because the entire country would be Assyria. We’d see then more clearly that these usual suspects were nothing more than a Christian Assyrian minority trying to fool the Muslim Assyrian majority into giving them a Christian enclave. We’d know that no country has ever done that...that it would be a recipe for disaster. We’d know that when the Christians of Assyria played footsie with Euros in the past they were traitors to Assyria (not Iraq). We know that there would ONLY be Assyrians in BetNahrain...and like the inhabitants of any modern country they would be of ALL religions or none. We’d know that the history of all nations shows violence and animosity between religious (and ethnic and racial) groups and sects and that this was nothing new or significant or worthy of immediate intervention and even “shock”. Not even of “awe”.

We’d know if they wanted their own representative they’d have to all move into one district and hope to elect one of their own to local office or to represent them at the national level (which they are free to do today, if they can stand all living near each other)...but that they’d stand no chance of electing one of their own to national leadership UNLESS he or she spoke for all Assyrians, Muslim, Christian and anything else. In other words; truly democratic and not tribal or sectarian.

We’d know that when members of the Christian minority of Assyria worked for the occupying British as a colonial police force, called the Levies, that they were fighting for foreign Christians against their Assyrian brothers and sisters, and Assyria...and for pay too. Likewise we’d know that any Christian of Assyria today who works with or supports the foreign Christians attacking Assyria would be a traitor to Assyria and not a “patriot”, and deserving of punishment.

We’d soon realize that the ex-patriot Christian Assyrians around the world are enemies of Assyria when they spread lies about their Assyrian brothers and sisters and pray and pay for the destruction of the Assyrian majority, even if it means ruining Assyria, simply because of their Christian religion and its hatred for Islam, the religion of Assyria.

In other words we’d know what we know of these Christians today so, what’s in a name anyway?

Nothing...except a traitor is a traitor is a traitor.
