Unintended Consequences?

The Chaldean Rite Archbishop, kidnapped a month ago, was found murdered in Iraq today. He is archbishop of Abraham's homeland, of a church founded by the Apostle Thomas himself, and naturally in communion with Rome. Over the centuries the Chaldeans worked out a modus vivendi with the Moslem majority. As is often the case, this minority became rich as a trusted third party in business. This Church in the crossroads of humanity has survived for nearly 2000 years, faced countless invasions, conquerings, and oppressions. The Chaldeans may not survive the US invasion and occupation. Of course there is a large contingent of Chaldean Christians living in peace and prosperity in Iran. For now. Onward Christian Soldiers!
