I used to teach jiu-jitsu to an Iraqi Kurd asylum seeker in London. Despite his own people being gassed, he preferred Saddam. If you kept on the right side of the powers-that-be, you could run businesses and have a life. This is in contrast to the anarchy that ensued after the West's invasion.

Iraqi Kurdistan hasn't had many of the security issues that southern Iraq has had. I assume he was a Kurdistan not living in the north?

Every Kurd from the north that I know prefers their current situation to when sadaam was gassing them

Nope, he was living in the north. Sadly I forget exactly where.
