The Kurds
from prwatch.org and O’Dwyer’s PR Daily:
“The Kurdish Regional Government of Iraq has officially opened a D.C. lobbying office, which is headed by Qubad Talabany,” reports O’Dwyer’s. “His goal is to mobilize grassroots support for Kurdish interests,” including by establishing a Kurdish Congressional Caucus and a Kurdish-American business council. Talabany, the son of Iraq’s president, will also “promote Kurdish educational and cultural links with the U.S.”
Everyone has an angle.

If tested I would have to say I know little about the Kurds. But what I have observed impresses me. Kurds make the Turks nervous. We essentially abandoned them after Desert Storm and by allowing Saddam Hussein to keep attack helipcopters they suffered severe and brutal retaliation. The Shia and Sunni are by most accounts engaged in civil war and the Kurds may have looked past all that and are still working on the future. Amazing.
