The report from Mosul, Iraq in the NY Times today indicates some ethnic cleansing in the supposedly calm northern Iraq. Apparently, Mosul, Iraq's third largest city, has been virtually cleared of its Kurdish inhabitants by Sunni Arabs. This fits a pattern of establishing sectarian-based territories that will eventually go their own ways, a far different picture from a "democratic" unified Iraq as a goal that is being sold to us by the Bushies.
