Although that begs the question: Do things look good for anyone in Iraq? But between tensions with fellow Iraq's, apparent problems with Iran, and the PKK (amongst others) misbehaving in Turkey and/or near the border between Iraq and Turkey, the Kurds may be in for a rude awakening when the U.S. leaves. Rude of course because of how much the Kurdish government acted (and to some extent no doubt still tries to) like a separate and autonomous entity from the central gov in Baghdad following the overthrow of Saddam Husein. Anyway, below are URLs for some interesting pieces on this issue:
