Kurds and Ansar Al-Aslam
Another false premise endemic to whiny Iraqi blog-sites:
Number 2. is...True. As far as that goes. Ansar Al-Aslam was based in Kurdish territory and was supported by some Kurds. It also received support from Iran and Saddam and Al Qaeda (but of course that is no proof of a link between Saddam and international terrorists. Ho ho!).
However, Kurds were fighting to drive out Ansar Al-Aslam for two years before the US entered Iraq and have only recently driven them from Kurdish territory with the help of US forces. And now Kurds who were driven from that area by Ansar Al-Aslam are returning home. Here is a beautiful photo essay of the Kurdish area in question thanks to Fayrouz.
