The Kurds, while Sunni, are from a different sect than the Saddam Sunnis. Yes, but they're closer to the Arab Sunnis than to the Arab Shiites -- they may not mind #1, seeing the Sunnis beat up on the Shiites, and #2, the Arabs fighting among themselves. Yes, I hadn't thought of that. I was coming from the perspective that Sunni Arabs have been terrorizing Kurds as well as Shiites, and that Kurds would see them in the same light as the Shiites. However, the Sunni attacks against Kurds are spread far apart whereas the ones against Shiites occur fairly regularly. Kurds may not see them as a big problem, allowing them to remain focused on their own independence. ted
