My thoughts on the disputed land:

All those deleted expletive Arabs who were paid by Saddam's government to INVADE Kurdish lands and cities - who effectively STOLE Kurdish lands - farms - homes and businesses - should have been treated like the thieves they are and thrown out the same time Saddam was removed

I live in England - if someone breaks into our homes they are arrested - we do not hold a vote to ask them if they should remain in our homes or not
