The Washington Post published this article about a recent bombing in Kirkuk, where I spent much of my time in Iraq. Any story about this northern, predominantly Kurdish city grabs my attention.
A departure from unilateral patrols in urban centers will mean less direct American conflict but likely an increase in overall violence as power vacuums fill. Kirkuk, Iraq's equivalent of Houston, and a hotbed of multi-cultural tensions may be a problem as Kurds assert power. I like the Kurdish people and once had the opportunity to represent some Kurdish people here in Middle Tennessee.
