“Don't get me wrong I am not denying that we can be Assyrian,”

*** That’s nice… Keep it in mind when you comment on this subject in the future…

“and had possibly the British not used this name for the Nestorians in Iraq, who knows what they be calling themselves,”

*** It wasn’t because of the British. It was because of the SHOVEL. Had the SHOVEL not been invented, The Assyrians would not have come to be known in history. What do you think?

“but there is no doubt that the ancient Assyrians, Babyloniabs, and other Mesopotamian tribes are the great ancastors of most modern day Iraqis”

*** Who said that wasn’t the case? …And BTW, do Assyrians also qualify as “Modern day Iraqis”?

“ and not only the Christians”

*** Who said only Christians can be Assyrians?... Only you and pancho come up with ridiculous ideas like that to create topics of argument for yourselves…FYI. There are more Iraqi Muslim intellectuals claiming to be Assyrians today than you can imagine...

“, but I am rather just wondering what would the result of today's Christians of Iraq be had it not been for the foreigners who used these names while our people had apparently forgotten them for 2000 years.”

***You wouldn’t have cared about the results if you were born a Somali, would you? So why speculate? The fact remains that whoever decided to call us Assyrians, had a good reason to do that… I suggest you research more and read ALL the point of views that are out there, not just those of pancho..

“is no way that anyone is purely or directly related to the ancient Assyrians”

*** That is an extremely ignorant statement, made purely to create arguments… You say this and you turn back and say something else that contradicts yourself… Re READ all that you wrote again.
