At time of the 2003 U.S. invasion it is estimated that there were approximately 1.5 millions of Assyrians, Chaldeans, Syriacs and other Christians in Iraq out of a total population of 28 millions. Today, the remnants of these people are feeling that the invasion has precipitated to the current situation facing them where only half of that number is still in the country while the other half has fled due to the violence and insecurity they endure everyday and where life there has become impossible because of the wave of violence, kidnapping, rapes, tortures and killings beside being forced to be evicted from their homes. It is a fact that during the past era of different regimes for over 90 years since the inception of Iraq , these peaceful and law abiding citizens were happily living with the Muslims with full freedom of worship and their beliefs were ensured without any discrimination. In the congressional hearing on the persecution of Christians in the Middle East that was held on January 21,2011 the Honorable Congress woman from California Anna Eshoo reiterated this very clearly by saying and I quote "During Saddam Hussein's regime, a large and stable Christian community persisted in Iraq". It is very fundamental for the Iraqi government and the politicians to understand and accept that when Christians live in environment where their religious rights are at risk, an essential human right of these citizens is taken away. Internationally it is an accepted notion that any disregard or denying the respect of a religious freedom is a fundamental violation of human rights. Today a simple question is being raised, can Iraq today be a better place for its Christians and Muslims people to live together in peace and harmony as equal citizens, let alone the desire to go back and live as before. Does the government of Iraq need to be reminded that a harmonized and peaceful society will exist only when respect for the right of religious freedom is observed and guaranteed. Any denying or neglect to the minorities and their religions is a democracy unwarranted that fall short of acceptance and the inability of the government to take the correct measures to safeguard these rights is an illustration of a handicapped and weak government that put its interest before that of its citizens. It is the obligation of the political parties that are in partnership with the Iraqi government to implement and enforce Article 125 of the constitution that ensures the minorities the full protection of their religious, civil, administrative and political rights. At the same time the Christian minority of Iraq need and request from the U.S. government and its Congress to fulfill its moral obligation to help repair the damage that the invasion has caused them. The United States must ensure the conditions and the livelihood of the entire minorities especially the Christians are improved and create a safe environment to encourage them to stay on their lands and also to make sure a better and practical mechanism is placed to accommodate the displaced people within Iraq and provide special assistance programs to the refuges that already fled the country and are in diaspora in countries such as Syria, Jordan ,Lebanon and Turkey. We request from President Obama to take the necessary steps to appoint a special envoy to the Middle East for Christian minorities to be able to structure a better and more acceptable measures to safeguard their rights. It is very disturbing and ironic to hear that few Iraqi government officials and members of parliament including the Christian representative suggesting that the concerns and decisions by the international community especially those of the U.S. and European countries with regard the welfare of the Christians in Iraq is an interference and meddling in the internal Iraqi politics. Did not these politicians and their political parties come to power in Iraq in the past few years by the full assistance and blessings of the United States and the sacrifices of men and women of the military of the U.S. and other world countries. Have they forget that they were appointed in the Iraqi Interim Governing Council by Paul Bremer, the U.S. Administrator of Iraq. The Iraqi government needs immediately and genuinely to undertake measures to guarantee religious and civil freedom for Christians and for all its citizens.
