Dont confuse the Kurds with one kurdish group (the PKK).
it's the lack of Kurdish human rights that has allowed these groups to take hold. But under "operation Provide Comfort" the kurds themselves, under autonomy, have proven able to govern themselves far better and more peaceably than under saddam hussein or anyone else - they are flourishing under what little freedom they have.

The problem not just with the PKK, but some of the other groups in the north is their strong relationship with Iran. Because we are not Muslim, they do not trust us and especially after the 91-92 fiasco. I would prefer though a single Iraq with a non-theocratic government and strong military based on secular ideals.
