#1 I dunno if they can keep it together - the egos involved are bigger than the territory they "control." But one can hope.

The Kurdish region of Iraq is the only functional and civil area in the country - probably because they're NOT ARABS.

Personally, I hope that, someday, they get to form a nation - and take the northern oilfields with them. And I hope that the Southern area of Turkey and the Northwestern chunk of Iran that are also centuries-old Kurdish territories, join it.

Fuck Turkey and Iran.

(Ed. do you mean October 2003, instead of 2002?)

Oh, and fuck Turkey and Iran.
