>> What is in the interests of the US to push for a seperate Kurdistan?

Neither can I see why the US should disarm the militias, the leaders of which have this on their web site:



.. Who can swear that dems won't be in the Whitehouse in 2 years? With this economy, I won't..

We need a little treaty. Lip service, seems, won't do..

I don't see us disarming anyone of small arms. Liberals can't even disarm our citizens of small arms, nor should they. At the same time I do hope that a democratic republic of Iraq will give the Kurds a feeling that they have a voice and that will be enough for them. Iraq being a democracy will be key. Meanwhile, from my understanding you do have multiple Kurdish factions combating one another. Certainly there is at least one more pro-Turkish and pro-American than the others.

I wish you would stop saying that. You are giving me the hives.
