Do you notice that all US media are barely paying any attention to the protests all over Iraq, and especially in Sulaymaniyyah. Of course, they really believe that Iraqis and Arabs treat the lousy Iraqi regime as any better than the rest of the lousy Arab regimes. I mean, so what if the Iraqi people can get to choose from a pro-US/Iran puppet and a pro-US/Saudi Arabia puppet. That would please Iraqis? And notice that speeches of Iraqi leaders--one after the other--are indistinguishable from speeches of other Arab tyrants who rail against "foreign conspiracies" and "suspicious elements" and "enemies of the nation" and the rest of the ugly rhetoric of tyrants.
