Subject: U.S. Legal & Moral Obligation Toward Iraq and the Double-Victimized Christians
Dear Mr. President Donald J. Trump,
My name is Dr. Amer Hanna, the president of the 1974-established non-profit organization, Chaldean Educational Center of America. I am writing to you today as a concerned former US Army-U.S. Embassy Liaison, Baghdad-Green Zone, and out of love and respect for our beautiful USA, the Chaldeans’ new home of hope, and out of my solid support to you and your fabulous administration (a triple Trumper voter), to share with you my view and take on Iraq’s vital topics.
As you are quite aware of the three catastrophic mistakes committed by the American policy, which you yourself have criticized for years. These inhumane acts could have been easily resolved with wisdom and the right decision if you had been the president at the time. Two of these catastrophic misconducts were committed by Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., while the third was committed by Obama, who intentionally handed Iraq over to Iran’s Islamic regime on a silver platter.
Before the Islamic conquests, the indigenous Chaldean population of Iraq exceeded nine million people, making up 95% of the population. But today, after centuries of Islamic persecution—and especially after Iraq was handed to the Iranian Islamic regime through Obama’s incompetent administration—the number of double-victimized Chaldean Christians, the indigenous Iraqis, has decreased to fewer than 400,000, with a percentage of less than 0.01%. This dramatic decline is also the status of all Christians in the Middle East countries except Israel, where the Christian population is growing.
As a scholar, I can explain the historical reality of the Middle East and Iraq. I can also affirm that Iraq’s security is tied to Israel’s security, and there will never be a secure Middle East unless Israel’s security is guaranteed.
However, if the United States wishes to correct the previous administrations’ misconducts committed against Iraq by the Bush’s Sr. and Jr. and Obama regimes—and if your inimitable administration feels that the US has a moral and legal obligation to right the wrongdoing of the previous administrations—then, in my personal opinion as a SME, the most suitable charismatic Iraqi-American figure to help achieve this noble goal is Mr. Sam Yono, whom for more than three decades, has been empowering the Chaldean American Federation and rebuilding bridges between the U.S. and the Middle East in general and Iraq in particular.
Sam is also a 3-time Trumper. He co-established the Middle East Coalition for Trump in 2016 and took it nationwide. He appeared in most of your Michigan Rallies, all three times, and had several pictures with you. In 2025, Sam was asked by Ambassador Ric Grinnell to secure more Middle Eastern votes, and he was able to help secure more than eight thousand votes. Sam hosted Dr. Massad Boulos and the shining Chaldean American star, Mrs. Alina Habba, in the summer and had over 300 people in his house, where he introduced Dr. Boulos to the community for the first time. Guests were from the Iraqi, Yamani, Lebanese, Albanian, Armenian, and Indian Communities.
Sam served as the Chairman of the International Visitor Council of Detroit for the US-DoS and a member of the Advisory Council for Global Ties US in Washington, DC. He deals a lot with Global Diplomacy. He also served as a member of the Presidential Advisory Council formed by then-President Bill Clinton on the Middle East that brought the peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Mr. Sam Yono’s deep and rich knowledge of the Iraqi situation, his international relationships, and his respected figure by decision-makers in Iraq (in both the central government and the KRG)—combined with his identity as a Native Iraqi-American dedicated to building trust and cooperation between the two nations—makes him the most important American asset that the U.S. could use to correct our disastrous policies in Iraq, and win again the hearts and minds of Iraqis.
What increases the importance of this charismatic figure even further is that Mr. Sam Yono—like you—is a successful businessman with heart.
At the Chaldean Educational Center of America CECA’s recent meeting, it was agreed to recommend Mr. Sam Youno to serve as a vital additional asset to your Special Envoy to Iraq. This would significantly strengthen the U.S. Special Envoy’s efforts to an unprecedented level of success. We hope that you will consider our sincere proposal after receiving Mr. Yono at the White House.
Once again, thank you, Mr. President, for your time and consideration of the abovementioned matters. I also hope that you will revisit your choice concerning your personal Envoy to Iraq by assigning Mr. Sam Yono to work thoroughly and hand in hand with Mr. Mark Savaya, to strengthen the mission and make it as successful as possible. Mr. President, as a hardcore MAGA, I can vow that Mr. Yono from my over thirty years of firsthand experience is second to none when it comes to Iraq’s geopolitical matters and advancing the US interests, especially in the fields of Economy, Immigration, and Ethno-religious & political Affairs.
Sincerely,
Dr. Amer H. Hanna, President
Chaldean Educational Center of America
