I realize that Iraq remains unstable and that is why mentioned the situation involving the threats of violence by the Sadrists. However, the government can still publicly condemn such conduct, and urge members of the international community to speak out against it. Furthermore, the regional government in Iraqi Kurdistan is stable and could voice opposition to this conduct by the Turkey and Iran as well.
These unilateral attacks are promulgating future instability if nothing is done to address the matter. Families are being displaced, property destroyed, and civilians are being killed. This behavior is breeding more insurgents. I realize the fledgling government in Iraq has a lot on its table, but they can at least publicly condemn these illegal military operations by their more powerful neighbors along Iraq's northern border. The US is still there as well, and can offer some kind of assistance if the Iraqi military is unable to handle these cross border incursions. It is a mystery to me why so many are mute on this subject?

I don't know probably because of the media, they so heavily focused on the US and the Iraq. I mean why doesn't Iraqi government condemned it as a violations of it's sovereignty? Pakistan condemed us for our raid on the Bin Laden compound because we entered their territory without permission. But for Iraq, i don't know why Iraqi government didn't say anything about it.

Yeah... Im not a dumb nut but thanks anyways.
They are very much in the same category, with the only difference being the Arab governments are taking the role they accuse Israel of when dealing with the Palestinians.
In case you overlooked this in your history, feel free to show me where palestinians had citizenship prior to the creation of Israel. Feel free to show me what citizenship palestinians had who lived in the west bank and gaza strip, both iof which were under the control of Egypt and jordan.
Dont be so quick to dismiss a paralell in the region for the sole basis of it makes the arabs look bad.
