	A Kurdish Perspective on Iraq
		His main message was that life is good in the Kurdish region of Iraq (which he often referred to as Kurdistan) now compared to when Saddam Hussein ruled, but there is still a lot of work to do.
		And in the nonpeaceful governorates, the violence is primarily the result of terrorists who will attack the US anywhere in the world, not just in Iraq, and former Ba'athist Sunni's who feel disenfranchised (in reality they are just upset because they've lost their special place since everyone now has the same rights).
		So as Iraq quells resistance in these last few governorates and as Iraq tries to unify its government by removing special privileges for special groups, depoliticizing education, and encouraging free discourse necessary to democracy, Talabani hopes Kurdistan will lead Iraq by example.
