UNHCR Was Ready for Falluja

By Bruno Geddo

We would like to address some factual errors in the article published today on your website: Fallujah, a Military Success But Humanitarian Failure, Could Signal Catastrophe in Mosul It is a great shame this article appeared without the writer carefully checking the facts. UNHCR, like other agencies, had drawn up contingency plans for Falluja.

A Vicarious Letter to Obama From the Assyrian Hostages

By Peter Ahern

Dear President Obama: After months of despair we have finally felt a flicker of hope on hearing of the raid by your soldiers with Kurdish forces several days ago which released 69 hostages being held by the Islamic state. We know very well what those hostages were going through. Like them we are held in captivity, abused, and face execution. We have been in this situation for months.

Is the Pope Standing Up for Iraqi Christians?

By Tiffany Tryniszewski

While Pope Francis focuses on climate change and normalizing relations between the United States and Cuba, the Christians of Iraq are left with no ally, no protector, and no spokesperson. For the first time in history, Iraq is becoming entirely Islamic.

Good Men Must Do Something

By Nahren Anweya

Benjamin Franklin once wrote, "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature." It's because of these moral precepts that my parents fled the Ba'athist purge of Saddam Hussein in the hope of providing a better life for my brothers, sister -- and naturally, myself.

Hatred is a Disease of Humanity

By Joanie Schirm

In reading the August 26, 2014 article titled Chaldean Patriarch Appeals to 'Conscience of the World' by Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, I am reminded that the stories of displaced persons in our world never fade.

Iraqi Monument to Shoe-throwing Ingrate

By Les Hutchinson

How appropriate that the monument 'honouring' the so-called journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush was erected, now dismantled, in Tikrit, birthplace of the psychopath-bully-dictator Saddam Hussein. More than 4,000 brave American boys and girls gave their lives in Iraq, believing that they were helping the Iraqis gain their freedom.
