Iraqi Federalism: The Biden Plan

It seems that Obama has been persuaded to slice Iraq up into three pieces. Anyone told him it's already sliced up into a lot more than three seperate countries. The place is like Mediaeval Italy. Anyway, the Biden Plan is the new Jerusalem. On the Kurdish dimension of which Stafford Clarry comments:

The first fact to keep in mind is that the territory directly administered by the KRG was determined unilaterally -- undemocratically -- by dictatorial decree in October 1991 following the first Gulf war earlier that year. The Baghdad regime instituted and militarized the separation, and abandoned over 3 million Iraqi citizens. Food and fuel supplies, and electricity, were cut, and much more. Following the enforced demarcation, in November 1991, the regime forcibly displaced more than 100,000 Iraqi citizens from Kirkuk areas into KRG territory.
