#1 Note the accurate use of the word 'resettle'. These were people who were driven out of their homes and only the survivors for that matter.

I think they have every right to return.

#2 Yep, Rantburg has been following this. I have a little sympathy for the people Saddam trucked in to occupy the place -- most of them were ordinary folks who got an offer they couldn't refuse in Saddam's Iraq. But you're right, the Kurds have to be allowed to re-settle.

#3 In Saudi Arabia the Sunni Arabs have displaced the Shias from the oil regions. In Algeria the Sunni Arabs have taken control of the oil regions owned by the Berber. In Sudan the Sunni Arabs have displaced the Blacks from the oil regions. In Iraq the Sunni Arabs have displaced the Kurds from the oil regions.

Can you see a pattern?
