[Discussion about 09/11/2001] [UrukNet] - [Daily Information from Occupied... : The relentless pursuit of the GAP and, in the long term, the creation of a Kurdish State in Iraq risk precipitating its outbreak (...) The de facto self-rule enjoyed by Kurdistan since 1991 and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein en April 2003 pave the way to the establishment of an independent Kurdish State. If Massoud Barzani and Jalal Talabani – the two Kurdish feudal chiefs of Iraq- succeed in separating Kirkuk (1) from the rest of the country to make it the capital of independent Kurdistan, the "Great Kurdistan" would hold two major stakes: oil and water.
[Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying] Never Mind The Corpse In The Street: For someone like myself who has spent considerable time in Iraq—a country I first visited in 1968—current reality there is, nevertheless, very different from this conventional wisdom, and so are the prospects for Iraq’s future. It helps to know where to look, what sources to trust, and how to evaluate the present moment against the background of Iraqi and Middle Eastern history.
[The Blue Voice] Democratizing Violence: The evidence suggests that Iraq mirrors a wider and troubling trend throughout this region that is being fostered by Bush, Blair and their freedom-loving friends, whether deliberately or inadvertently.

[Seattlepi.nwsource.com] AP Blog: End of deaths uncertain in Iraq: With Shiite-Sunni tensions running high, much of the killing in Baghdad is deemed sectarian - tit-for-tat slaughter as the two rival religious groups fight for power in the post-Saddam Iraq. Sunni Arabs, the once privileged minority, fear domination by Shiites, still bitter over the oppression they suffered under Saddam's Sunni-dominated regime and angry over attacks by al-Qaida and others who consider Shiites as heretics.
[News.yahoo.com] AP Blog: End of deaths uncertain in Iraq - Yahoo! News: Sunni Arabs, many of whom still refuse to accept the idea that Iraq has an overwhelming Shiite majority, insist that without a major role in government, Sunni leaders will never convince fellow Sunnis to abandon the insurgency. Those who accept this argument believe the Shiites are being shortsighted by insisting on strictly following electoral results.
