Since the US-Led Invasion...

And now, the American invasion is producing another "side effect" which was easily foreseeable: Depleting Iraq of its Christians.

"The archbishop, 65, was the latest in a long line of Chaldean clerics to be abducted in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003."

"The Chaldeans are the largest sect within Iraq's Christian community, which was estimated at 800,000 before the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

Many have left their homes after attacks linked to the continuing insurgency."
