A damn shame to world heritage sites

And shame on the Kurdish regional government and their hypocrisy and demanding freedom while depriving others of it.

Unfortunately they have enough trouble protecting the living, without worrying about the dead.

I agree though, it is a real crime against humanity.

What, because of their conversion they should be treated as special? Doesn't anyone remember what they were like? I was there mannn.

Yes, in fact, m y neighbor is part Assyrian.

That's shocking. People won't realise how valuable their history and culture is until it's gone.

maybe it will teach the Iraqis that the Great Sagas of the Past are gone forever, and instead of trying to regain their lost Caliphate, will look to a brighter future.
