Ray, Just in case you get bored... I was reading more on the Kurds and there was CBC show on Iraqi oil. Interesting of course one doesn't think about things from 80+ years ago too often. When they divided up the Ottoman Empire and the Kurds didn't get their promised homeland (The Assyrians, great fighters for the Brits were also screwed). Interestingly the Kurd homeland would have included Mosul and Kirkuk ;o) ;o). SURPRISINGLY the Brits put the kaibosh on it in order to better control the guess what.... I suppose..

Yeah the Turks don't want an independent Kurdistan. Guess where lots more traditional Kurdish homeland lies ....

The realpolitik of the region has changed little in a century has it ?

EDIT they all hate Hussein. 3 don't trust the US. The Kudish guy is strongly pro the Coalition not just for ousting Hussein.. Hmmmm! He should read some history. Brittain lied to them and screwed them after WWI and the US, well they just let them down after Gulf I (to be fair the then coalition let them down) when I believe when Wofiwitz was right.
