		<description><![CDATA[I tend to think this report might be a bit more hyperbolic that the actual situation.  At the end of the day both the Arabs and the Kurds have way too much to lose by going to war, and in fact, the Kurds can keep the arabs below (to the south) of the ring of steel (out of &quot;Kurdistan&quot;) without any problem.  But, just to get another view, I&#039;ve written to a Kurd buddy in Irbil for validation. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The standoff between the Kurds and central government is political theater before the 2013 provincial elections. PM Maliki can say that he&#039;s not sectarian and that he&#039;s standing up for Arabs against Kurdish expansion, while Kurdish Pres. Barzani can say that he&#039;s standing up for Kurds against the central government that wants to take the disputed territories from them. Something very similar happened in 2008 over the town of Khanaqin in Diyala province before the 2009 provincial elections. Statements that Iraq is on the verge of civil war are lacking in analysis and understanding of the political situation in the country right now.  ]]></description>
