Kurdistan or Northern Iraq ?!During the first session of the elected Iraqi parliament, the oldest member of the assembly said his blessing for Saddam's victims. He said "My blessing for the people of the North".
Some of the 77 MPs from Kurdistan were insulted. They shouted "Kurdistan, Kurdistan. What North". The old man said "Sorry, Kurdistan".
If you watch this slide-show, you'd see that why using "Northern Iraq" is not making any sense. Have you heard of "South of Britain" referring to England or "Eastern America" referring to Washington, or Eastern China referring to Taiwan ?!

update:
The Turkish Democracy blog asks to help 2 children being caught by the Turkish Police and says they may face life sentences over treason charges. Have a look some shocking photos and reports about Turkey.
