For the past twelve years, the Iraqi Kurds have enjoyed selfgovernment
in at least part of their homelands; the Kurdishadministered
enclave was to most purposes an independent state
although it lacked all forms of international recognition. The Kurdish
leaders never stopped proclaiming that they had no ambitions to
separate from Iraq permanently; their stated political objectives could
be summarized in the slogan “democracy for all of Iraq, and autonomy
for Kurdistan.” And there is much, indeed, that ties the Kurds to the
rest of Iraq: a common history and common perceptions such as result
from enculturation in the same educational system, listening to and
watching the same media, and decades of taking part in the same
political system
