If we set Iraq up as a federal Republic, we could let the Kurd area be like Texas. Give them some pride, identity, and self-government over all things except national defense and such.

As long as the Kurd area is like Texas, not California.

Whaht? You think a Texan president would set up a California? I think this could be the way to sell a federal state, because I bet you cash money that the Kurds have heard of Texas!!
