#1 Sounds like Kurdistan might become the America of the Middle East.

Interesting times!

#2 He says this like its a BAD thing? it would embolden Kurdish agitation for independence in Syria, Turkey, and Iran, leading to destabilization and border conflicts,

Iran, Syria, and Turkey being forced to give independence to a people they have brutally repressed? A people who have been very tolerant culturally and religiously? A people who have been frinedly to the US? That's exactly why we should have been doing this all along.

I've been pissed at State and the effete suitwearing morons for years for thiere maintaining the idiotic position that represses Kurdistan for the convenience of Turkey Iran Iraq and Syria.

#3 "it would embolden Kurdish agitation for independence in Syria, Turkey, and Iran, leading to destabilization and border conflicts,"

or it might convince Kurds from those areas to move to Kurdistan.
