these Christians sit in coffee shops in Chicago and Ceres and demand this and that...and when they don`t get it for the asking, take their frustrations out at those who work and fight and organize and manage to get something...get it by deserving it..not by nursing a sense of entitlement pounded into their heads by village idiot priests...

...An Asstian`s notion of ACTION is to not spell out the name ...NAMES again..."K-U-R-D-S". By using dashes or other ferrocious symbols, an Asstian feels he`s done all he can by way of action. The Kurds got THEIR jobs...the Muslims got THEIR land...the Arabs got THEIR homes! And all of it..all this weepy frustration is based on the ridiculous notion that Christians are the original and only desecendants of the Assyrians...another instance of their rank opportunism for they are so damn thrilled not to BE Assyrian any longer...except when they can gain something for their "new" religion..the same Christianity that`s attacking Muslim lands once again.

BAGHDAD, June 1 (AFP) - 18h46 - Iraq's Kurdish minority won plum roles Tuesday in the new Iraqi government, including the jobs of deputy prime minister and one of two vice presidencies, and split between the followers of Kurdish chieftains Massud Barzani and Jalal Talabani.

Roj Nuri Shawis, one of two vice presidents, is a loyal follower of Barzani and a trusted lieutenant in his ##### Democratic Party (KDP).

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh, a follower of Talabani and member of his Patriotic Union of ##### party (PUK), is charged with the issue of national security.

Rounding out a total of seven jobs, Kurds also hold the ministries of foreign affairs, displacement and migration, human rights and public works, and the post of minister of state for women.

This goes a long way toward mollifying Kurdish fears that they will not be at the center of a new Iraq and once more subjected to the brutality they experienced during the 35-year reign of Saddam Hussein's Baath party.

The Kurds, who waged a rebellion agains Iraq's national government from 1961 until the 1991 Gulf War and who have been long anxious about having autonomy, are now firmly entrenched in the corridors of power.

Believed to make up anywhere from 15 to 20 percent of the population, they have fought hard since Saddam fell last year to protect the automomy they won in the northern provinces of Sulaimaniyah, Dohuk and Arbil after the end of the 1991 Gulf War.

A key concession for the Kurds in the US-sponsored interim constitution adopted in March, was the extension of self rule at least until a permanent constitution is written and passed by the end of 2005.

The Kurds also won an implicit veto over the final constitution by pushing through a clause that a two-thirds majority in three provinces could veto the permanent charter when it comes up for a national referendum.

At the very least, the Kurds want guarantees they will never see a repeat of Saddam's 1980s eradication campaign against the them, which saw 5,000 people gassed to death in 1988 in the town of Halabja.

The new appointees are veterans of the Kurds' struggles to obtain their rights in a country dominated by Arab Muslims.

Shawis, born in 1947, fought in the 1975 Kurdish rebellion against the Baath party and watched Iran withdraw its support for his people's Peshmerga guerrilla force and its ensuing defeat by the Iraqi government.

He served as prime minister of Arbil's regional government from 1996 to 1999 and until Tuesday was the president of the Iraqi ##### National Assembly.

Saleh, born in 1960, joined the PUK in 1976 and experienced first hand Saddam's authoritarian state. He was arrested twice by the secret police before fleeing the country in 1979.

He headed to London where he became a PUK spokesman and returned to Iraq in 1991 after the Kurdish rebellion that resulted in a self-rule enclave protected from Saddam by a British and US no-fly zone.

Saleh then headed to Washington where he served as the PUK representative and won the favour of America's political elite.

He most recently served as the regional administrator of the PUK-controlled province of Sulaimaniyah.
