What better way to teach those Dark Ages idiots that it's smart to co-operate than to reward the teacher's pet. I love Kurdistan. Screw the Turks-- make them their own country and call the Southern half Craphole-istan and let the Crapholistanis decide what idiotic future they want for themselves.
Here in this country, there are people who want to screw good things up for the good people who were responsible for them. We have the luxury in Iraq of these losers being segregated, which makes a divorce pretty tidy. I can't even conceive of the possibility that Kurdistan could end up as a craphole, too, because of the idiots on the other side of town. Liberating them from Iraq Proper would be a perfect way to keep them safe from that infection of stupidity and violence.
