Chemical attacks on Kurdish cities were surely a great way of uniting Iraq.

Saddam Hussain was a pan-Arab nationalist. He wanted to forcibly assimilate the minority ethnic groups, which the Kurds despised. Feels bad for them. Their language is banned almost everywhere.... Turkey, Syria, Iran.etc.
Trust me, it's not only the language that is banned in those countries, dare to say you're a Kurd and you will see what will happen to you. Arabs look down on us but they sure as hell do enjoy going to Kurdistan for their holidays Smiley.

I didn't even know there would be any Kurds hanging about on this forum of all places! I watched a pretty lengthy independent documentary about you guys and how you even had a women sniper team in your armed forces, is it true you guys don't discriminate as much against people of different faiths? It's hard to get accurate information over here in the west about Iraq and the documentary was mainly just the journalist talking to the Kurds themselves but these were mostly military people so of course they'll just talk up their own side as much as possible.
