Kurds back PM’s drive for stability Excellent and important news from Iraq. We all can measure the strength of the media's wish for disaster in Iraq if they do not give this story the front-page play it deserves.

Great news! It looks like the Kurds and the interim government have come to an agreement. Allawi has openly supported Kurdish autonomy in the country and recognized their current semi-independent status. In return the Kurds have placed their militias under the command of the government and have offered assistance to the newly formed security body. And: The Kurds are said even to be ready to disband their militias if the government accepts integrating them in the national army. Awesome news, if true. Derek
