Obama and Hillary have not been effective in speaking out or acting on behalf of religiously persecuted non Muslims for too long.
"A no-fly zone in Syria could begin as a no-bombing zone, with cruise missile strikes launched at offending aircraft from U.S. naval vessels in the Mediterranean. That’s the recommendation of Muhamed Sacirbey, a delegate to the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords and Bosnia’s first ambassador to the UN. Once Syrian (and allied Russian or Iranian) air forces know the United States means business, a no-fly zone can be enforced as it was in Iraq in the 1990s (for a decade). This should’ve been done three years ago, but here we are. We should base such an effort out of Europe and stop coddling Turkey and Saudi Arabia for their toxic friendship. The key is unflinching prosecution of air superiority: History shows it will save civilian lives and force dictators and militant holdouts to the negotiating table."

"The second turnaround is to stop pretending the genocide against Christians and other non-Muslims in the region isn’t taking place, to stop “tossing Christians under the bus” as a strategy, as Armenian leader Aram Hamparian recently pointed out in Washington. With the benefit of hindsight, ignoring what was happening to Christians in Iraq throughout the Bush-led war not only led to the genocide, it was strategic suicide. In 2006 an Assyrian priest handed me a list of typed names of Christians killed or kidnapped—and it ran to 24 pages. Had we taken seriously protection of Iraq’s minorities—those building businesses and communities, not bombs—Iraq might look different today. The United States is a country formed as an outpost for the persecuted and disenfranchised. It is time to merge once again American foreign interests with American values.
In 2011 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally designated as a terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the current leader of ISIS, and put a $10 million bounty on his head. Baghdadi and ISIS are the unfinished business of the Iraq War, the boil the United States left unlanced."
