"I am 50 years old, but my life just started today," said one Kurdish fighter who was helping a crowd topple a large bronze statue of Mr. Hussein dressed in traditional Arab garb.

This is getting interesting. Now the U.S. and the Kurds are starting to develop a struggle history.

Turkey does not want the Kurds establish their own country. Right/wrong they will do what they need to in prevention of this... I think Iran is even concerned that this would happen.

That's the entire reason that the Kurds want their own nation.

Who cares what Turkey thinks (not to even mention Iran)?
