Over the weekend, Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani
called for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to step down. While Kurd President Massoud Barzani separately
declared that “the time is here for the Kurdistan people to determine their future.”
So it appears that soon, out of the disintegration of Iraq, will appear a new independent Kurdish state.
Furthermore, with their
initial sale last week of a tanker full of oil, to Israel no less, the Kurds have shown that they are willing not just to cleave themselves from Baghdad but to stand as a magnanimous force for stability in the region.
