Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Kurdistan wouldn’t be another Arab state, it would be a Kurdish state. And furethermore, so many of the present Arab and Islamic states have large deposits of oil, and if a Kurdish state is formed, they’ll only have some that do will no longer be able to exploit Kurdish lands for a huge chunk of their oil revenues. So therefore, a Kurdish state would be a disaster for Arabs and Iranians. And what about the Turks and the Syrians? Don’t they deserve to occupy lands that don’t belong to them and oppress their indigenous populations, too?
Eleutheria, if I’m not mistaken, a “Kurdistan” that includes ALL the territories where Kurds are in the majority would include not only the oil-rich Kirkuk region of Iraq, but also that part of Turkey which contains the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates. That thought alone must terrify both the Turks and the Syrians.
