The artificial nation-state we call "Iraq" was forged together by British occupiers who wanted to keep the population disunited.




Finally, there's progress toward genuine self-determination, which is the region's best shot at a lasting peace:





Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani called on Saturday for the right to self-determination of the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, which could lead to a breakup of the country.



Speaking at a congress of his Kurdistan Democratic Party, Barzani said "the issue of self-determination," which was considered "a right," would be presented to those attending the conference "to be studied and discussed."



Bazani is right -- self-determination is "a right"; just as the American Declaration of Independence asserts. What a sad irony that American occupation forces are denying that right to the Kurds.
