Sulaymaniah is the capital of As Sulaymaniah governate and one of the two regional centers (the other being Erbil) of the Kirkuk Regional Government. This area has been mostly self-governing since the end of the Gulf War in '91. This is the historical power base for the Talabani tribe and his PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.)
Looks alot like Lebanon or northern California.....

Hi, I recently returned from Iraq and am glad to see someone posting the positive aspects of this war. I saw them all the time, and It seems like no one believes me. I was with the 352 CACOM in baghdad/taji/balad....supposedly the "triangle of death" for a year. I did see some bad stuff, but most of the time we found the locals to be indifferent or thankful we were there.
