Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Christians in Iraq.
Christians in Iraq
My hon. Friend knows well that I supported the invasion of Iraq, which was done in order to bring about democracy. Does he not agree that democracy carries with it an absolute requirement of the protection of minority rights? It ought to carry with it the protection of the Christians, but it has been greatly abused. That seriously undermines a case that was made about the war. The authorities have an obligation to do more than just provide $900,000 to help Christian families.
