That will mark the day for the End of Christianism in Iraq. 2,000 years of Christian tradition in Iraq have been wiped out since the American invasion. America is the Anti-Christ in the Middle East.

Hello,wiki leakes forgot about the Iraquies who tortured its people under saadam's regime.The people of iraq have not forgotten.Ps Enrigue ,fail to grasp what christainity has to do with the execution of Tariq Aziz.Christainity has not been a threat to iraq,the only threat to christainity is the distorted teachings of the Koran,from its preachers of hate .And it is a univerasl problem ,not isolated against western people ,even against they own muslim people.

America, after her "shock and awe" invasion cause Iraq, failed to realize that Tariq Aziz was the key to rebuilding the nation. He would have made an excellent leader of a destroyed Iraq because of his intelligence, his administrative talents, and his credibility with the diplomatic world. However, the Americans fell victim to the malaise that sets in for all arrogant invaders - they became blinded to reality. I am sure that when the US puppets lead Tariq Aziz to the gallows, he will show the same courage and dignity shown by Saddam Hussein. I suspect that one day, after the yoke of American occupation is throw off, the Iraqi people will honor Saddam Hussein and Taqi Aziz.

Mr Joseph Walker, No, Wikileaks did not forget about that; it's just not relevant with regards to the current situation except for that far more Iraqis have died as a result of the regime change than under Saddam's rule. Saddam was no nice guy, but I can think of half a dozen worse leaders right now than him within the past few decades that the US did nothing about. Christians are also suffering greatly under the new regime. They've been disproportionately affected. Although I am not sure myself what the fact that he has a Christian has to do with his execution, but whatever. The teachings are only needed to be distorted so far, as the Qur'an provides plenty of justification to kill non-Muslims, especially pagans.
