What's Next for Kurdistan?

 | SLATE
Monday, June 4, 2007 | By Christopher Hitchens
A question every American politician needs to address.

I chanced last week to run into a senior staff member of UNAMI, which is the little-known (and somehow not very reassuring) acronym for the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq. You could read acres of news from that country as it undergoes everything that the death squads of the parties of God can inflict on a society, without ever being reminded that coalition forces are applying a U.N. mandate for the reconstruction and democratization of Iraq. The assaults by the Baathists and the Bin Ladenists on the U.N. presence have been especially vicious: The U.N. headquarters in Baghdad were utterly demolished by military-grade explosives three years ago, murdering among others the heroic Sergio Vieira de Mello, a senior U.N. peacemaker who was explicitly targeted by the Islamists for his role in overseeing the independence of "Christian" East Timor from "Muslim" Indonesia.

Attack against Kurdish rebels risks strategic defeat, US says


April 30, 2007  | By Guy Dinmore in Washington

Before its latest political crisis erupted, Turkey had been pondering a military incursion into northern Iraq to attack Kurdish rebel bases just beyond its border. But the US has begun warning Ankara to learn a lesson from what some officials in Washington are starting to call Israel's "strategic defeat" in Lebanon under similar circumstances last summer.
