Iraqi Kurds face uncertainty over presidency - Yahoo News: "President Jalal Talabani, a revered figure for many Kurds, has held the post since 2006, helping to mediate conflicts between Iraq's religious and ethnic groups.
But he has been abroad for medical treatment for more than a year, and his final term is at its end, leaving the question of his successor in doubt.
For Qubad Talabani, a senior Kurdish official and one of the outgoing president's sons, having a Kurd as president is a "step in recreating an Iraq that is for everybody."
