I didn't "complain" of the "Kurds entering Kirkuk". The only part that I 
wrote was the first sentence and the link. The remainder is the contents of 
the link.

The Stop the War Coalition did mention it in their reason for why they are 
marching. As should have been obvious they were referring to Kurdish 
*troops*. They were worried about the Kurds being used yet again (similar 
to 1991) as pawns and ending up yet again at the mercy of the Turks.

In light of the fact that Kirkuk "has been and remains a Kurdish city"  I 
take it that you will be protesting at the fact that the US/UK is now 
asking Kurds to leave this Kurdish city to appease the Turks.

In fact if your statement is worth anything and not just a pious platitude, 
I trust that your concern for the Kurds will manifest itself by your 
calling for the state that they have long been denied. Or now that they've 
done their job do we dispense with them yet again?
