The problem not just with the PKK, but some of the other groups in the north is their strong relationship with Iran. Because we are not Muslim, they do not trust us and especially after the 91-92 fiasco. I would prefer though a single Iraq with a non-theocratic government and strong military based on secular ideals.

Again, your thinking is warped by too much 'geopolitical' thinking... this is the kind of thinking that made Kissinger screw the kurds 30 years ago. the kurds have turned to those who will help them because THE COUNTRIES THAT RULE OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED GENOCIDE AGAINST THEM.

Here we are discussing how USA may ally with turkey or not, and you are blaming Kurds - who have so *little* power - for being promiscuous in their friends.

All the Kurds really want is FREEDOM. Speak their own language, teach their kids and live their lives.
They can do it as a part of federated Iraq.
I think the USA can handle that as part of the liberation of Iraq. Easily. And the kurds wont ask for $30 billion.
