The Kurds in Post-Saddam Iraq

Abstract

Iraq's Kurdish community, repressed by previous Iraqi governments, has become a major force in post-Saddam Iraq. The Kurdish-inhabited regions of northern Iraq are relatively peaceful, reconstruction is proceeding there, and the Kurdish leaders now have senior positions in the post-elections government. However, there are concerns that the Kurds might use their political strength to serve their own interests at the expense of a unified Iraq.
