[Ynet] Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd who has mediated among Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish parties, was hospitalized on Tuesday after suffering a stroke that left him in "critical but stable condition", government officials and politicians said.Without Talabani, Iraq would lose an influential peace-maker who often eased tensions in the fragile power-sharing government and negotiated in the growing rift over oil between Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... and the OPEC member country's autonomous Kurdistan region.
