| Why do they love US? |

| Big Pharoah pointed out the important and yet unnoticed discrepancy in the recent USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll of 3,444 Iraqis.: 99% of Kurds said Iraq was much better off or somewhat better off as a result of the U.S.-led invasion. 100% of Kurds said that they and their families were much better off/somewhat better off/about the same. 0% said they were worse off. 96% of Kurds said the coalition should stay somewhat longer than a few months. 98% of Kurds said the U.S. forces have conducted themselves very well or fairly well. 97% of Kurds said they think of coalition forces mostly as liberators. 97% of Kurds said that if the coaltion forces left today, they would feel less safe. President Bush has a 95% approval rating among Kurds, which is higher than he has in the U.S. Saddam Hussein has a 99% disapproval rating (Compare it to 26% in Sunni areas) Rather than have these allies sucked into the quicksand of the rest of Iraq, maybe the Kurds should petition to be the 51st state. That would really put Arab knickers in a knot. |

| #4 We would be extremely foolish if we don't set up a series of large permanent military bases in Kurdistan, to protect them from any of their neighbors, and from which to launch full scale offensives against Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Sunnistan, and Shia-stan (in case things go bad to the south). |

| #3 Life would be excellent if there was a decent line of supply to Kurdistan. |

| #2 I really have no problem at all with giving the Kurds control of all of Iraq. |

| #1 Bush has a 95% approval between Kurds. Time to give them their own state, their own United State of America so they can vote in next election. :-) |
