Regardless of what the US, Canada or all of the other do-gooder nations might say the Kurds deserve their own country. I have lived in Kurdistan and worked with the Kurds and the Peshmerga. These people are an order of magnitude better than the Arab Muslims who wish to subdue them and having the Iraqi Arabs make life difficult for them is nothing new. Saunders would do better reading a little history of these people and what they endured under Hussein prior to writing his colonial clap-trap.
