The inimitable Ralph Peters gives a wonderful account of life in Kurdistan (they even have their own website).AS violence in Iraq dominates the news, imagine a Middle Eastern country in which the government works in simple offices and spends its money on education, a state in which the prime minister still lives in his parents' home and builds libraries instead of palaces.I like the sound of this. May it spread south - quickly.
How about a Middle East in which young men and women study together at a university where no political party rules the campus, freedom of speech is encouraged and internet access is unrestricted.
Try, if you can, to imagine a Middle Eastern population that regards America with respect and gratitude.
It isn't a dream. It's a reality.
Welcome to free Kurdistan.
