The Kurds are known for being the best fighters in the Middle East, and they work as guns for hire. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan has a long standing feud with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, who joined up with Iraqi troops.
Some of it also goes back to wars against Iran, and the Turks.
It's confusing, but I think all this stuff is VERY relevant to forming an opinion based on something other then distrust and dissent.
