Kurdish Military Successes Against The Islamic State Are Raising Alarm Bells In Baghdad



Jack Moore and Suadad al-Salhy, Newsweek: Kurdish Land-Grab Stuns Baghdad

WNU Editor: This so sums up the problem with Baghdad and Iraqi politics. Instead of being grateful and happy that Kurdish forces are engaging and winning the war against the Islamic State .... the Iraqi government is more worried on what will this mean in future talks and negotiations with the Kurds on issues like autonomy, territory, and oil production/share of revenues..

    We hope.

    Everyone bemoans the post WW1 boundaries and yet so many people would try or advocate for Wilsonian boundaries based on ethnicity, language or culture (the theory not the actual practice).

    That makes them special.
