100% AGREE! Arm the Kurds and let them have Iraq! We give them a homeleand and they'll love us forever!
Unlike the Sunnis and Shi'ites, the Kurds are smart enough to play along with the U.S. until after we leave. Once the U.S. has left Iraq years from now, the Kurds will declare their own independence and then have to fight off Turkey and any Iraqi government.
In the end, I suspect that the Kurds will prevail and win themselves their own nation in what is now Northern Iraq and Southern Turkey...and they will prevail because they are smart enough to wait, and because they are smart enough to know who their real enemy is. In the meantime, the Kurds should make fine U.S. allies while we are in the region.
