"Arab Iraqis fleeing to Kurdistan have become an increasingly strong indication of the deteriorating situation in Baghdad. More than 30,000 Iraqis are believed to have fled their homes to Arbil in Iraq’s northern Kurdish region."

It's a shame that innocents are displaced, but that 's a sad fact of war. This seems like an islamic version of northern ireland, as the catholics and protestants faught it out. It may be time for the shi'ite and sunni clerics to try and find a middle ground for peace. Maybe then, the remainder (AQ, etc) can be purged.

They have fled the secterian killings. Good for them. When Iraqis stop killing each other they can go back.

remember folks-this is what happens when a dictatorship is removed...the seething vipers nest of sectarianism lets rip-as in palestine-each grief slick killing the next, through lack of intelligence, education, real religion or use. let no one stoop to the lie that america is to blame for this horrendous insult to 21st century civilisation-this is an internesine arab problem that shows the narrow limits of its klubfooted religious model...at the top of the heap sit the sheiks, manmade gods by virtue of fossil fuel-worthy of british government bribes and british eunuch policies of cash for contracts...at the bottom, school dunces clevery sniffed out by jihadist recruiters and turned into death embracing timebombs. is god really as low as man can get?

Better off sending money to Red Cross or other legitimate organization.

Well alive in baghdad is not a sharity organisation like the red cross. The donations these guys get go into making more videos like this, about the daily lives of Iraqi civilians.
