Cato the Youngest has a post about why Iraq needs the Kurds. Iraq does, indeed, need the Kurds as well as the Assyrians.

NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
To hear that the PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan)is trying to force their way into Kirkuk and declare it the Kurdish capital makes me sick to my stomach. They should first learn that regions history and know that it is the Assyrians and certainly not the Kurds who should be running Kirkuk, let alone Ninveh (the capital of the Assyrian Empire) Irbil, Dohuk, along with several other northern iraqi cities. Their is a reason why for the past several decades Kurds have not be granted autonomy in southwestern Turkey and northeastern Iran, they are a people without a history, and with absolutley NO voice and NO right to be demanding things that were never theirs', are not theirs' and GOD willing will NEVER be theirs.
