That would be a bad thing. Right now the Kurds are the closest thing to a functioning Muslim group in the middle east. They aren’t nuts, they aren’t into car bombs and they don’t really hate anybody. Lots of people hate them, but that’s kind of like the dysfunctional family that hates the members that do annoying things like hold down jobs and pay their own bills. If the middle east is ever going to grow the hell up and stop acting like it’s the 13th century the Kurds are going to be one of the major building blocks.
Yup. Kurdistan would ultimately absorb parts of Turkey and Iran, and become a source of stability (such as it is) in the ME.
