yes it should be but i believe
except for satellite views
our combined bb & bp cupboards are actually bare once
again
of the requested tripoint images
in all 5 cases
owing to expired links etc

& the 6th & most elusive of them is an unresolved
iqirkw territorial seas tripoint somewhere out in the
persian gulf
which remains only a hypothetical equidistance
trijunction

but of the 5 continental supposedly known ones
i believe the closest we still have to an actual image
is for iqkwsa
in the link given in
http://egroups.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/6509
which at least describes the point verbally as being
on the thalweg of the wadi al batin
& directly monumented by iqkw pillar number 1

so imagine a standing rock substantial enough to
withstand periodic flash floods at the bottom of a
steep dry wash

& for iqjosa
the only other one we have any real data on at all
you will have to split your imaginary image into at
least 2 parts
since we have identified both de facto & de jure
probabilities for it
as explained in
http://egroups.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/11597

but again no visual images

& apart from these few & hard won gleanings
like the man says
happy hunting

& you are quite right about iraqi kurdistan
at least
as i see the present kurdish demands for autonomy are
already tantamount to independence

but you know this sort of situation is not unique to
kurdistan or to iraq or to the middle east

no nation would ever agree to be split up &
artificially distributed out of its independent
existence

yet it happens everywhere all the time
in a manner of speaking
