USA, like France, is not a Christian country - its official religion is stated as "none" (e.g. check Encyclopaedia Britannica). Understandably, its international relations prioritise its political, economic and military security, and without an official religion, its policies are ethically malleable. USA would only fight for Assyria if Assyrias reinstatement and security played a critical interest for America in the Middle East. As we are not a great enough interest for USA and her allies at present, the oppression of Assyrians and other Christians will attract little concern. What did Bush say? Islam is a religion of peace. Yea, he either lives on another planet or he is being politically shrewd.

Interestingly, the United Kingdoms religion is officially Church of England, and so the question you have asked is better put before Britain. They, like all political states, have their national security to look after too, but as Christians, they have a greater deal to answer before God for their actions.

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
