When did MY ILK ever say that and what exactly is MY ILK?

You can't, although I've asked you repeatedly, define your own political ideology so why don't you have a go at mine?

I thought it was Israel who wanted a two-state solution so that it wouldn't:

1. have to give back property
2. create demographic havoc for itself

The Kurds want what they can get and apparently they see themselves as getting the northern oil fields. Are you going to say that they have a right to them by some ancient decree?

When did I say I thought it was a good idea to make arbitrary states among ethnic borders?

The incompetence of Republicans in military matters has not only blown the lid off of longterm conflicts, it has incited civil war. This may work to the Kurds' benefit if they can break away and lay claim to the oil but they will have a heck of a fight on their hands if they try.

Are Republicans going to defend the Kurds from Turks and other Iraqis? Is Dubyette going to step in and make up a new country ?

It's a mess. It's a chaotic, misery-producing, death-producing mess and it's what the Republicans either wanted or failed to prevent. Dang, though, those nice oil prices are simply peachy.
