    The funny thing is you're on par with the most rabid Ba'athist in terms of disseminating bullshit propaganda. Stop speaking on Assyrians please - you know literally zero about us.

    The only thing keeping these mini-Saddams and their mafias in check in the rotten, kleptocracy of Iraq is precisely the existence of rival mini-Saddams and their own mafias. That's the tragic game. That's the situation minorities are in *because* of the invasion.

    The power and influence is expanded through a delimiting of territorial and political authority which removes out-group bargaining and negotiation. These mini-Saddams would be able to do whatever they wanted in these new statelets because they would no longer even have rivals.

    Imagine the hubris of lamenting Saddam's treatment of minorities and using it as a reason to support the invasion of Iraq, then saying it all went wrong when Iraq wasn't divided into Kurdistan, Shiastan and Sunnistan - splitting the same minorities across ethno-sectarian states.
