The kurds in iraq have been staging a revolt for years. for years they have been organizing militias to fight for an autonomous state. The greater iraqi population saw no need for such a revolt.

Are you saying then that Kurds don't matter? They were staging a revolt for years and even made several attempts. Look at Halabja and why it happened. There were attempts made on the life of the tyrannical dictator which prompted the Iraqi government to launch a chemical weapons attack against an entire town. Would you revolt against that? Risk everyone you know being gassed? Hell, why not just hide and hope that your father and brother aren't taken and killed next?
