Howard, Michael | September 16, 2002 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the opposition of Kurds to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in Iraqi Kurdistan, and discusses the author's experience in Qala Diza. The Kurds are wary that they will never feel secure while Saddam is in power, but they are anxious at the prospect of more upheaval and violence. However, there is no certainty that a new regime in Baghdad would be less hostile to the Kurds. The conditions of Kurds under self-rule following the establishment of a safe zone aided by the United States and British militaries are discussed.
