There may also be an assumption that Christians in the Middle East are less fervent in their beliefs than Muslims, partly because they have been forced to keep a low profile by Islamic supremacists, and partly as a projection of the a la carte Christianity of selective beliefs and observances in the West. In any case, the decision has come down that Christians in the Middle East are expendable. Indeed, they are being sacrificed, as Washington looks the other way to worship itself as a messianic bearer of democracy. However, a democracy is only as good as the values that inform its participants, and therein lies the problem for human rights in the Middle East in the near future.
