During the past 10 years, the two major Iraqi Kurdish groups have spent far more time fighting each other than Saddam. The Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan now are cooperating. Both the KDP and the PUK sent representatives to Ankara last week, seeking support for their fight against Iraq. But in the past, the groups also have looked to Syria, Iran and even Baghdad for support to fight one another. The Bush administration has promised a new Iraq policy in June.
Sanctions are the main issue now.
And that's probably as it should be.
