Barham Salih (puppet prime minister in Iraq), who thinks that he is an intellectual because he wears glasses (tell him that Larry King wears glasses too), was on Al-`Arabiya TV. He acknowledged that there is discrimination against Arabs in Kurdish areas, and that they can't live there unless they obtain a "Kurdish guardian" document, but he explained that those measures are "for security reasons." If I know my Iraqi contemporary history well, there was another guy who used that same argument to oppress and discriminate.
