Persecution of the country's Christian minority has increased dramatically since the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. In recent weeks two archbishops have been abducted. See: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7271658.stm here] and [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4182629.stm here.] The Pope told George Bush last year that "Particularly in Iraq, Christian families and communities are feeling increasing pressure from insecurity, aggression and a sense of abandonment."
