I'm one of those people who believe in an independency for Kurds. It's really hard to imagine my country divided and some of its parts are taken off, but still, Kurds have the right to have their own country. To me, they have their own culture, nation, ethnicity, language etc. so they have the right to have their own country away from An Arab manipulate. Honestly, I found many Arabs don't like the idea of KURDISTAN coz they are afraid that Kurds will take Karkuk. If we go back to the statistics about people lived in Karkuk, we will find the majority of them are Turkmen! which says that this argument about the Kurdish Karkuk is bullshit! To me, it doesn't really matter if the Kurds took it; taking Karkuk doesn't mean that Iraq will live in poverty, Iraq never depended on Oil in the first level.
Anyways, While I was hanging online I found a blog that brought an important issue goin on in Kurdistan about arresting a writer who was swearing on Massoud Barzani. The blogger is criticizing this silence being held by the Kurdish mass media especially the Kurdish-English ones.
It seems to me that the Kurdish experience with Democracy seems similar to the Iraqi one. It seems as if the whole Orient is the whole fucking Orient. I haven't believed in the terms "Orient” and "Occident" till I read Edward Said's book "Orientalism - 1978". but now reading stuff about Oriental non- Arabs experiences with democracy, it all seem similar. Those experiences tell us that the people in the Middle-East are not yet ready to have democracy, they don't have this liberal mentality or awareness. Too obscurantist!
That's why we see the Kurdish media too afraid to talk about the arrested writer, that's why the Iraqis elected this fucking fucked up fucker Abdulaziz Al-Hakim. That's why the 80% of the Algerian ppl elected Islamic fuckers, etc ..
As Ziad Al- Rahbany once said: "Hek sha'ab bado hek hokoma" = This type of people deserve this type of government".
