General Qasim,
If you are out there somewhere in the great beyond, I'm sorry! Sorry you were deposed and killed. Sorry that your fate was that of so many other "national treasures".......

If the U.S. was really into making sacrafices for just causes in the middle east the Kurds would be near the top of the To Do list.

Oh, wouldn't that be great, and I wish with all my heart it would be possible without bloodshed, yet history shows that cannot be achieved. Kurds do not live in isolation, and an idependent state would bring on a genocide for all other tribes/nationalities in the new nation. Just look at all the other places where it has been tried (Chechnia for one. After Russians left after the first Chechnyan war they basicly gave the state independence, yet after the troops pulled out a genocide of Russians began there with thousands of murders)

There's a lot of messy things that could happen from spliting Irak in three parts or more. It's going to be complicated enough as it is already.

Irak??
