&lt;p&gt;John McCain 
&lt;br /&gt;Speech
&lt;br /&gt;Sioux City, IA 01/03/08&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TRANSCRIPT:
&lt;br /&gt;QUESTIONER: "What do you think of Sen. Biden's plan for Iraq where he&#8212;"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JOHN MCCAIN: "Wants to divide them into three countries? I think they are Iraqis first. I notice that as things have gotten in Iraq that that theory has succeeded. [...] One: the Turks would never allow an independent Kurdistan. [...] people live in neighborhoods next to each other. Sunnis and Shiite--some of them are married to each other. I think it's very difficult to achieve that. I think the Iraqi government--very disappointed--but it's starting to show a little progress."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports that recently, Kurdish Islamic parties have broken with tradition by decentralising power and bringing in new senior members. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They are trying to modernize to attract voters. But the region has a history of secular politics that some analysts say Islamist politicians will find hard to break.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In stark contrast to much of Iraq, the country's Kurdish north is relatively peaceful.
&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;For most of the past 10 years, two secular parties have shared power.
&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;However, now Islamic groups are becoming more popular.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"One of the causes of some of the slowdown in violence is that so much ethnic cleansing was already done and people moved away," says Quil Lawrence. But while federal Sunni and Shia states have some support, the Kurds' only ally is the U.S.

&lt;p&gt;The Turkish incursion into Iraq has been dividing opinion among Kurds living in Turkey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite those differences, however, there's a common feeling among many Kurds, that their needs are being ignored.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Turkish incursion into northern Iraq is entering its sixth day amid claims and counter-claims of violence. The Turkish military says it's killed more than 150 Kurdish rebels since crossing the border on Thurday.
&lt;br /&gt;But the PKK rejects the casualty figures and has warned Turkey it has entered a conflict it cannot win. Many of Turkey's Kurds are also growing increasingly frustrated.
&lt;br /&gt;Our correspondent, Hoda Abdel Hamid, went to the southeastern town of Diyarbakir where she found growing support for the PKK.
&lt;br /&gt;But first, James Bays is on the Iraqi side of the border where he was given exclusive access to a town caught in the middle of the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Inside Turkey, there's widespread support for the military action against the PKK. The only major political party to oppose it is the Democratic Society Party, or DTP, whose constituency is almost entirely Kurdish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But now Turkey wants to ban the DTP, prompting warnings about the state of democracy in the country, and what might happen if Kurdish political representation is censored.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Laurence Lee reports.&lt;/p&gt;
