As for Kosovo itself, it should be renamed to Mafiastan, the way mafia from Kosovo spreads all over Europe puts the Russians or Chechens into shame.

Because the Iraq war has nothing to do with the Kurds or freedom for their people. The Kurds are a minority spread across multiple Arab states and destablizing Iraq wont help them one bit, freeing between 10-15% of their people wont do a lick of good because in order to actually solve the problem, the Arab states containing large numbers of the Kurdish minority actually have to work together to achieve something.
If you want, we can turn this into yet another debate about the Iraq war, but "Freeing the Kurds" wasn't much of a reason for invading. An excuse if anything or even a side effect.
