Supporters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) hold and wave political posters and flags in Sulaimaniya, 260 km (160 miles) northeast of Baghdad July 9, 2009. Iraqi Kurds going to the polls this month are losing interest in age-old battles with Baghdad over land or oil, and starting to care more about corruption plaguing their largely autonomous northern region.
