#1 Prolly just a matter of time before that happens anyway. Kurdistan is loaded with black gold and would make them a nice little homeland. They would probably quit annoying Turkey and mind their own yard if they had a country.

#2 If it comes down to secession, the Sunni Arabs in Central Iraq would probably be better off with a free Kurdistan. This way, they won't get attacked from both north and south, as they are in a united Iraq.

#3 They better get ready to invade Syria or become friends with one of their enemies if they want to get that oil to market.

This is just politicking and long range planning.

#4 More power to them. Iraq's borders are artificial anyway.

#5 Good on the Kurds, they've needed a country since we forgot them after WW2

#6 With America's armies sitting secure in Kurdistan, I think we can bite off big chunks of Iran and Syria for a greater Kurdistan in the near future. Call the map room.
