...they're so inept and uninterested when it comes to using or understanding a dictionary that one has to ask what they think this word means...in English, of course, but in ANY language.

Let's say assyrians were a construction company eager to win the bid for a massive new development. How would they proceed? Would they first move ten thousand miles AWAY from the job site? Having moved that far away would they then cast slurs against their competitors who remained behind, to measure and assess and develop plans?

Being far away would they then issue drawings and schedules without knowing if workers were available or materials either? And what client would take such a business seriously? Who would award them the contract...and based on what?

But a building or any other enterprise is small potatoes compared to starting a country, a Christian country at that, surrounded by righteously pissed Muslims...how are they proceeding on that front? Have they made any sort of progress at all? Are they even on the same page with each other? No, obviously not...they can't even get all their engineers in one room...and even if they did, who is going to credit people who first run away and then demand guarantees before they'll come...to take away LAND for themselves?

Does Maggie know the meaning of work...do any of them? Sure, they know enough to wake up on time, shower and shave and get to wherever their job is on time, or they'll lose their jobs...that part of "work" they understand...as they know that staying home, far from the office, and then demanding raises and better conditions will get them fired....they know the easy stuff, but have they any idea how you do the harder stuff? Getting "martyred" isn't WORK...although there's a lot of time and trouble put into packing and running away, it's hardly national "work"....it's more like save-my-skin work....it certainly isn't this-is-how-you-get-a-country work.

So far national "work" or, work for our nation, seems to consist of nothing at all...a whole lot of pawing the ground and blowing smoke without taking even a baby step towards the desired goal. In fact, they have convinced themselves that national work begins with bitching and moaning with a lot of posturing thrown in...I mean, seriously, has anyone seen anything else in the last 50 years from these self-styled "activists".

By contrast, getting an Assyrian monument funded and built and installed is small potatoes....it's no big deal....it's difficult to pull off, certainly, and especially when you have only other assyrians blocking your path...but it CAN be done....it HAS been done by others...so difficult isn;t impossible...but still, there are definite steps you have to take and you have to take each one carefully and correctly.

Getting your own country...tearing off a piece of Iraq, for instance, to hand over to a passle of warring Christians (which is exactly where the Arabs came in 1400 years ago)is extremely difficult and would require the most exacting standards and methods, and people too. What have we seen? A handful of engineers, some gas station attendants...a teacher or two...some doctors and a whole lot of ignorant but passionate writers.....who among the lot of them have no idea how to proceed except to keep saying that they MUST and SHOULD and WOULD, if only they dared.....a country? I don;t think so...they can't even agree on a picnic.
