"Kurdish parties warned Wednesday that they might bolt Iraq's new government if Shiites gain too much power. In another challenge to the interim administration, saboteurs blew up an oil pipeline, forcing a 10 percent cut in electricity output.

Kurdish fears of Shiite domination rose after the Americans and British turned down their request to have a reference to the interim constitution - which enshrines Kurdish federalism - included in the U.N. resolution approved Tuesday."

3. Good for the Kurds.

Of course, this is the only possible reaction to the false government that is being imposed on them by the West...once again.

Prevent the Civil War. Divide Iraq now.

5. I guess the Kurds need to rename their land "Reaganstan,"

if they want to get any respect, even here at DU.
