If the United States abandons the fight for freedom in Iraq, one of the great concerns is the inevitable genocide of millions of innocent people, similar to the slaughter that occurred when U.S. forces left Cambodia.

This includes one million "Assyrian" Christians.

The National Clergy Council, representing all the Christian faiths in Iraq, delivered thousands of petitions to Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid warning that if U.S. troops are withdrawn before a stable Iraq is formed, thousands and thousands of Christians will be slaughtered.

The Clergy issued a statement saying, "If our troops are forced to withdraw early, Pelosi and Reid will have the blood of martyrs on their hands. Plead with our congressional leaders not to put political gain ahead of protection of imprisoned Iraqi Christians."

In Washington this week, General Petraeus and Iraq Ambassador Crocker both publicly and privately supported the Christians. Said Petraeus, "We fully support all help for the Assyrian Christians and understand their unique situation."

Reflection

“I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.”

—Ephesians 1:16-20
