Dear Ken,

> I am left speechless. If we call Hezzbollah `moral`, my grandfather is turning over in his grave as are the thousands of our martyrs.

With all due respect your grandfather, if he was killed, died as a result of Western attempts to carve up the "sick man of Europe', Ottoman Empire. Our people were regrettably used and abandoned by the West after the UK succeeded in controlling the Middle East's oil reserves. "Coincidently" the same strategy you are urging us to repeat.

As for Hezbollah they are the legitimate and democratic resistance of Lebanon. After they succeeded in defeating Israel in 2000 and forcing them to flee south Lebanon the mostl Christian Lebanese soldiers that had collaborated with the Israelis were not slaughtered but were arrested and given a fair trial for being traitors. Also Hezbollah have never forced all Christians in Lebanon to adopt Islamic garb this is another misconception.

> Thank you for illustrating my confusion is such an easy to understand way.

Well then let me say it again for those who may have missed it,`My respect and support for Hezbollah have grown leaps and bounds. They have defeated the US-Israel government both militarily, politicaly and morally.`

> I do not think it is fair to characterize our people as having given up on attaining a Province and ultimately a nation and having settled for second class status in the region.
> Some in the diaspora may have, but for those living in Iraq it is still `job one`.

Well in case you've missed it the illegal US invasion and occupation of Iraq has seen over 2,000 Assyrians die and over 50% of our people flee. That in itself indicates that they are more interested in fleeing Iraq due to US inspired instability. But those that remain have clearly indicated that they don't want their own country by rejecting COngressman Hyde's proposal. They don't want to end up dependant and compliant with the US government acting as its "attack dog" in the region. They have instead clearly stated they simply want an independant administrative region.

> At the same time, I respect your opinion.

And I respect that you respect my opinion.

Respectfully,
Tiglath
