Rebuilding Role A Valley man will be among those who will help rebuild Iraq. Sargon Dadesho says he was contacted by the Pentagon to help form a team of exiles to return Iraq. Dedesho runs an Assyrian TV station in Ceres.
Assyrians are a Christian minority in Iraq, which is mostly Muslim. Dadesho says the goal is to include all types of iraqis in the new government, "My vision is to see this transitional authority consisting of major segments of the Iraqi society. Arab, Sunnis, Shiites, Assyrians and Turkmen."
Many say it won't be easy. Some Assyrians warn the U.S. should prepare to stay in Iraq for many years after the war if it hopes to establish a democracy.
