What do you think are the odds that the Kurds will break off to become sovereign?

They will be sovereign until Turkey occupies Kurdistan.

Powell doesn't like the smell of things in Turkey.

Despite the foolish assurances of our government, all the Sevres states need to be dissolved and new arrangements made, from Mosul to Sana and from Baghdad to Mecca.

As part of our strategy, I would have sold out the Kurds in a heartbeat to get those Turkish bases.

Now, I don't care, but if independent Kurdistan is in our interest (all of it, including Eastern Turkey and Northwest Iran), then it's fine with me.
