...and with democracy in Iraq we are once again faced with the problem of a Kurdish homeland. Turkey is standing at attention and so is Iran. The U.S. is backing the Kurds for the time being and the Turks and the Iranians don't like it one bit.

They should have carved out a bit of the middle east for the Kurds following World War II but back then nobody cared. Now that the oil fields are up for grabs, the U.S. is being ever so nice to the Kurds. We back your independence and you give us the oil. Pretty cozy if you ask me.

In the meantime, water is contaminated, ambulances cannot get to hospitals, people can't get to markets and children are starving.

Evil, just plain evil!
