** Dear Ashur,

** Please excuse my delayed response I've been away from my PC for acouple of days.
Please allow me to post some thoughts on your points raised below.

>The first Assyrian nonsectarian ideolgy ever declared by an Assyrian in l990 under the " The Assyrian Proressive Nationalist Party (A.P.N.P.) Here is The Part I : Article 1 - Title: This party shall be titled , " The Assyrian Progressive Nationalist Party. Article 2- The purpose of the APNP is the following:
>a- To revive the Assyrian nation.

** Our nations is revived you just don't see it. Once you remove the religously-polarised tinted glasses from your eyes and escape from the Christian amber that has held you for so long you'll realise that all we've ever dreamt of....all we've ever wished for stands revealed before us as clear as day.
Assyria is Iraq. The ethnic descendants of the Assyrian people are the modern Iraqis boasting cultures from all our different phases of civilisation.

>b- To aid in the struggle against backward forces and strive for modernisation.

** This is precisely what www.insideassyria.com has been striving for since inception. Your arrival here is not only evidence of our struggle against backward forces but also the fullfilment of your point above.

>c- To aid in the struggle against fanaticism and strive to create a new Assyrian nationality to be accepted by civilized societies.

** Saddam Hussein was from Tikrit which, besides being based on the Syriac word for trade, was also a Nestorian city just 200 years ago. Meanwhile Barzani as you readily admit was also Christian around the same time. The entire population of Iraq is of Assyrian/Babylonian/Amorite/Chaldean/Sumerian/Arab/Kurd etc descent. You statement is as silly as an modern day Italian claiming that he wants to revive the Roman nationality. Think about that statement for a while.

>d- To promote equality, justice , peace and the pursuit of happiness.

** Sorry to make a joke but that kinda sounds like the start of the old Superman series. :-)

>Article 3- Definitions and Fundamental Principles:
>a- Greater Assyria ( Iraq ) is political and geographical unit, and therefore its citizens are considered a nation.

** Exactly waht we're saying, BUT you should be emphasising it as 'Iraq (Assyria/Babylonia/Sumeria/Arab/Kurd)'

>b- The Assyriac(language) shall be the official language of the nation.

** This is really silly. Most Assyrian Americans & Australians speak English for Ashur's sake just as most of our people of Chaldean, Sunni and Shiite people speak Arabic. The language should be the language of the region to enable trade and better communication between Iraq and its neighbours. Arabic remain the official language BUT other languages such as Syriac and Kurdish should also be taught and given room in the new Iraq.

>c- The components of our Assyrian nation are biology and geography, i.e., people and land, history and culture.

** Let's break uup this statement into all of its components:
Biologicaly - our people are more related to the Jordanians as this article displays.

I especially love the concluding paragraph:
"Was it just a coincidence that the first fratricide occurred in the Middle East, when Cain murdered his brother Abel? Will we ever be free of the curse of Cain? Will the younger generations of the Middle East release their souls from the dark forces of the past? Will the knowledge that Assyrians are their "blood relatives" begin to change the perception of Middle Eastern people about Assyrians? Will it be too late for the Assyrians?"


>d- Greater Assyria belongs to the Assyrian people( included Arabised Assyrians an Babylonians) who should have the right to direct its destiny.

** Greater Assyria should be democratic seeing as how primitive versions of democracy were operating in our ancient homeland. Now in a democracy the majority of the Iraqi people would identify with our most recent civilisation the Abbaysid (Arab) civilisation making your sentence better when modifed to:

d- Greater Iraq belongs to the Iraqi people( included Christianised Assyrians and Chaldeans) which should have the right to direct its destiny.


>e- The Assyrians are the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, i.e., Beth-Narrein ( Iraq ) or whoever descends of the Assyrian origin.

** And when have they said that they aren't the descendants of the ancient Assyrians? It was written in their constitution for Ashur's sake.

>f- No other nationalities exist in Greater Assyria except the Assyrian nation. If there any other nationalities such are theoretical or alien.

** So now you want to stamp out Saddam's Arabisation policies, which mind you targeted Iraq's minorities, by introducing Assyrianising policies, that will target the majority? Are you really serious or kidding on this point?

>Article 4- The Intentions and Goals:
>a- To revive our Assyrian nationality.

** Our nationality is an Iraqi of Assyrian descent and Christian religion. Iraq is big enough for all its religions, sects and minorities to live in peace.

>b- To restore our historic and geographical territories.

** Saddam tried doing this by invading Kuwait. Are you advocating an imperialistic policy that will be used by the US and other foreign powers as an excuse to invade our country, the region and control the ME's oil reserves and the world's economy?

*** This bit is rather dull and repetitive.

>n- No party member may participate in acts of homosexuality or lesbianism.

*** Thank you for showing your true colors in your constitution. That statement in fact proves that you are a Christian dressed in an innocent Assyrian's clothing. I'll hand this one over to Emil to address.

*** Tiglath makes a tag to Emil ***
