From: "Gary Britt" 

The Kurds don't want problems with Turkey, they are having an economic boom
because they provide a relatively secure and safe political environment for
private property owners and investors.  A story on this fact of life for
the Kurdish portion of Iraq was aired earlier today on one of the cable
network news channels.  Guys from Texas (already millionaires) building
apartments and other real estate developments in the Kurdish portion of
Iraq.  Huge real estate boom appears to be going on there.  People
relocating there from elsewhere in Iraq.
