The Assyrian national thought and the nation’s unity
The Assyrian national thought is that which seeks to realize the unity of the Assyrian nation, preserving its identity and formulating its revival project which would be qualified to release the abilities of the Assyrian individual bearing the message of the Assyrian nation which will enable it in the re-building of the new Iraq. We have made the history of Iraq and we shall contribute to its re-building.
In this sense, the Assyrian national thought is the one which unites and the one able to uncover the great laws of struggle which control history’s movement in the region; this is an ancient and continuous struggle between the powers, interests, and partisanship in relation to projects that would unite the nation or the plots aiming at crumbling it.
In the same manner the repetitive talk about the failure of the Assyrian national thought because of the many and diverse mistakes or transgressions committed by some regimes, organizations or individuals which ascribed themselves to the schools of that thought, are all included within the frame of that struggle movement aiming at demolishing the last strongholds of the nation to face the plots of separating and crumbling it.
Such a talk neglects that ideas may linger or recede but they never disappear, more specifically when they are connected to the identity of a nation, its revival tendency, the will of freedom and independence in addition to human dignity and basic rights, whether national or political.
What’s noticeable is that such a talk about the failure of the Assyrian national thought is coming at a time when all of Iraq is witnessing a tendency towards building large clusters in an indication to the impossibility of having small entities in today’s Iraq.
Another thing to be noticed is that the claim about the failure of the thought which can bring about unity, has connections to the enemies of Assyrian unity because those making such a claim or most of them are promoting Kurdish, international projects whether new or large which deal with the region in a strategic and political unit but at the same time endeavor to obliterate the Assyrian national identity, leaping over the historical facts in the interest of some simplified geographical and demographical implications through which it would be possible to merge the Kurdish entity within its composition.
History has taught us that the biggest mistake that some analytical thought, ideologies or movements fall in is that their behavior towards an actual moment would be as if that moment whether of victory or defeat is a permanent one, hence they build on such a perception their stands or observations specifically when the actual moment of failure was the basis of dangerous efforts, some internal and others external resulting in bringing the nation to the situation that it’s in now.
