Interesting article/argument in the WSJ today. It appears that the better affairs go in the Kurdish portions of Iraq, the less likely a smooth transition to a unified state. But the better things go in those same Kurdish portions, the more they feel threatened by Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

It is hard to point out substantial differences in UN policy towards the Kurds versus the Shiites. Yet the results, and the attitudes, are night-and-day different. The Shiites resent us bitterly; the Kurds are grateful. What can you say, after you are finished saying, well, the Kurds are not Arabs and aren't susceptible to rule by mullahs or running on wounded pride or other pan-Arab craziness? How else do you explain it?
