One of the many problems with the UN is that they do produce a document, 
RARELY, that is worded correctly, buy the interpretation BY THE UN is 
different than everyone else.

You're not alone! I don't pretend to have all the answers.....in fact very few 
of them. As to Iraq, what I DO KNOW, is that you'd be very surprised to know 
how many Christians are in Iraq and some other Arab states. They have been 
and will continue to be persecuted and killed until our Lord returns and He 
defeats Satan and his willing and unwilling followers, INCLUDING Islam.
