It is my sincere hope that the war will end soon, US soldiers return home and Iraqis who have taken refuge in other countries like Syria, will return and rebuild.

The President and Halliburton, since they got the bulk of the jobs, should rebuild the country they bombed on poor intelligence.

Halliburton should also do it at cost, to the American people, as the US treasury has suffered enough under mismanagement and unruly spending, via the transgressions of the President, Vice President and Congress.

Halliburton was a deciding factor behind that war and now they want to hightail it to Dubai to live and work in the lap of luxury under very favorable tax laws.

The US economy is in the worse shape it's been in decades, and you helped make that mess, you should stay here and help clean it up.

Your tax revenues should go into the U.S. treasury. You're one of the last companies that should be looking to leave this country:

Iraqi PM Pledges to Protect Christians

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq's prime minister pledged Saturday to protect and support the Christian minority that has been fleeing the chaos and sectarian violence in the country.

After receiving the Chaldean patriarch of Baghdad, Emmanuel III Delly, Nouri al-Maliki affirmed his government's readiness and determination to defend the small community and to stop the outflow of Iraqi Christians, according to a statement released by al-Maliki's office.

Delly, who is the head of Chaldean Church in Iraq and spiritual leader to all Chaldeans, has been outspoken about the need to protect minority Christians from Iraq's spiraling violence.

Earlier this month, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Delly a cardinal, when he named 23 new "princes" of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Christian community here, about 3 percent of the country's 26 million people, is particularly vulnerable, and has little political or military clout to defend itself.

Since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, Iraqi Christians, who are mostly Chaldeans, have been targeted by Islamic extremists who label them "crusaders" loyal to U.S. troops.

Churches, priests and business owned by Christians have been attacked by Islamic militants.

Seeking better and safer life, about 50 percent of Iraq's Christians are thought to have left the country, according to a report issued by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, which advises the White House and Congress.
