As a side issue - I noticed on the news last night a politician referred to as a member of the national assembly of Kurdistan... When, exactly, did Kurdistan become a country? Surely our leaders haven't slipped another disastrous and dishonest partition of an Arab country in, like we and the French did in 1919? (Well, it was the French's idea actually, so therefore their fault) Perhaps someone up top has noticed how well the process of Balkanisation works... sheesh
