Wait a minute why isnt the oil revenue being shared by all of iraq, I will tell you why because it would be more expensive to the US to purchase.
The US before entry, entered into an entire country and they want to seperate it now. Sorry International law prohibits it unless they want to disregard that to. The US forgets one major obstacle and that is the arabs, the turks the entire nation will not premit this and Iraq will have blood shed for hundred of years to come. If the region doesnt go into an all out nuke turmoil first. America keep dreaming

they’ve heard that all before.

I have spent the better part of 2005 in and arround kirkuk. I have personally spoken to many kurds and arabs and I believe the situation to be irresoluable in as much as kurdish nationalism cannot be replaced by “iraqi” nationalism. Thanks to the British in times past, when they drew the borders of Iraq, like so many other places, gave little concern for ethinc and tribal considerations. I personally believe that as soon as the United States pulls its forces, we will see the du jure reality of an independant kurdistan and you will see the city of kirkuk enveloped in ethnic war simmilar to that of the former yugoslavia.

A referendum in Kirkuk next year to join Kurdistan might just save a few lives here, then again it may not. Ask a kurd here in Kirkuk what will happen to the Arabs as soon as the coalition leaves. Let me sum it up, “murder”. There’s a lot of resentment towards Arabs here for the last 25 years of oppression and manipulation from Saddams’s regime. Whether Kirkuk joins Kurdistan or not there’s likely to be some really intense fighting here when the coalition troops eventually pull out.

The Kurds have proven themselves allies and I think we should be happy to see them get Kircuk. It is long over due for our foreign policy trade relations and especially foriegn aid to be based upon loyalty rather than whatever other PC reasons. I think the old days policy of rewarding our allies while punishment of those who are agianst US is long over due.
But then I guess in some people’s eyes the fact that they are allies of the US makes them guilty by association.
