#1 Talabani: the Kurd who will seal Saddamâs fate

But is the method of execution is in question?

#2 This has to be the sweetest moment in Kurd history - at least since the day they came to be under a foreign boot-heel so many centuries ago.

I hope they savor it - and protect it by making certain of every step taken. Overplaying your hand can be as destructive to your aspirations as failing to seize the moment. It's a delicate balance, indeed. Talabani is a tough smart old SOB - so I'll trust he knows what he's doing... but so much, so many events, had to fall just so to reach this moment -- so I fear for them.

My very best regards and hopes to the Kurds. May they make the smartest move at each opportunity - increasing their prospects for true freedom, peace, and prosperity. They deserve it.
