#1 I agree. If they accept what has been given to them, they will be second class citizens.

There were some good arguments the other day for the Kurds joining the Republic - but if I were a Kurd - I'd still bow out. They actually have what it takes to form a democracy. I hope the rest of Iraq can someday find democracy, but I don't see it with the leaders they have now. Maybe it's the State Dept's influence, maybe it's fate, but IMHO, the Kurds and the Afghan's allowed true leaders to emerge, but the Iraqi's got stuck with the political weenies that like to discuss problems over expensive lunches and solve them with self-serving bribes.
