Brave, brave Christians in Baghdad.

  • At least they're free to practice attend church, unlike under Saddam... No. Wait...

    I heard an interview on NPR or BBC... The person observed that under Saddam, the people to fear were few and well known. Now, in the chaos wrought by the "liberation" at the hands of America (Iraqi's always refer to this as the American invasion or the American and British invasion. They haven't bought into the coalition nonsense) demons are many and everywhere... and mostly anonymous until they act. Very unnerving.

  • Thanks for the well wishes. Been out Christmasing. Gonna go out for a little more in a bit.

    EPM, also, the Christian community has been decimated by violence and flight. I think that's why this picture struck me.

    Any one of those security folks could be militia marking their faces.
