William Shakespeare

Kurdish politicians fought their Peshmergas to protect Kurdishness as a nation, but after the suffering and the fall of Iraq, they were the cause of the destruction of the nation.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The Kurdish politicians, once hailed as heroes for their valiant efforts to protect their people and preserve Kurdish identity, now find themselves vilified as the architects of their own downfall. It is a tragic irony, to be sure, that those who fought so fiercely to defend their nation against external threats should ultimately be responsible for its destruction from within. But such is the nature of power, and the corrupting influence it can have on even the noblest of souls. As the Kurdish politicians grew more powerful, their ambitions expanded, their egos inflated, and their priorities shifted. No longer were they solely concerned with the welfare of their people and the preservation of Kurdish identity. Instead, they became consumed with personal gain, political power struggles, and alliances with unsavory forces. In their pursuit of power, they made deals with the devil, compromising their principles and betraying their people. They turned a blind eye to corruption, oppression, and human rights abuses, all in the name of maintaining their grip on power. And in doing so, they sowed the seeds of their own destruction. The fall of Iraq only served to hasten their demise. As the nation descended into chaos and civil war, the Kurdish politicians found themselves increasingly isolated and vulnerable. Their once formidable Peshmerga forces were decimated, their alliances shattered, and their credibility irreparably damaged. And so, the very same politicians who had once been hailed as heroes for their fearless leadership and unwavering commitment to Kurdishness now stand accused of betraying their people, their nation, and their own ideals. It is a tragic tale, indeed, one that serves as a cautionary reminder of the perils of unchecked ambition and the corrupting nature of power. As Shakespeare himself once famously wrote, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
