If you asked most of the Kurds the Iraqi's gassed, they would probably
insist that they are not Iraqis.  The U.S. has no room talk about Iraq's
use
of WMD's against a rebelious minor nationality.  There are two
documented
instances where the U.S. Army intentionally used biological warfare
against
native american tribes.  The Iraqi's used chemical weapons to defeat the
Kurds.	The U.S. used biological weapons after the native american
tribes
had surrendered.  There's nothing like slaughtering men, women, and
children
with biological weapons, while march them off to concentration camps
(resorvations), to end a minor nationality's ability to rebel for at
least a
hundred years.

Sure they would.  If they need the firepower at the moment and view the
mercanary fiefdom as far easier to deal with then the NSL or any other
major
power.
