Confronted with the debacle in the rest of (Arab) Iraq, the question has to be asked why the US-led coalition should not hold a referendum in the Kurdish region, asking the population how they would like to be ruled. After all, the Kurds have, by any internationally accepted standards, a right to self-determination.
面对（阿拉伯）伊拉克其它地区的崩溃局面，我们必须要问一个问题：美国领导的盟军为何不在库尔德地区组织全民公决，询问库尔德人自己想要什么样的政府。无论如何，按照一切国际认可的标准，库尔德人有权决定自己的命运。
