WNU Editor: The old order in the Middle East is certainly no longer there .... and while the Kurds may hope for their own state with their own borders .... there are many big players in the region and outside who are loathe to support such a change.

Barzani is a US/Turkey - allied gangster who has been enlisted to push the US effort to marginalize the largely anti-Israel major countries by breaking them up. Divide-and-conquer is an established US strategy, and the US always claims support from "the international community" in its anti-Iran rants.
