But will the Kurds work with the Sunnis after what Saddam did to them?

The Kurds are predominantly Sunni. While they now find themselves more in league with the Shi'a Arabs due to the on-going insurgency, as cooler heads hopefully begin to prevail and pay attention to the threat that Iranian influence poses (given Ahmadinejad's fanaticism), there is a belief that they will find common ground in thwarting any over-bearing control of the Iraqi government.

But certainly the hatreds run deep between them and there are still serious distrust.

But this is an olive branch that the Sunni Arabs need to offer to the Kurds, when they are ready to stop supporting Al Qai'da and the FRE elements still evident amongst them.
