There's nothing good about the current boundaries, but it's better than the alternative--widespread re-arrangement of boundaries, leaving bloodbaths in the wake. No reason why Turkey should rule 15 million Kurds, etc. Iraq as a federal republic could work, and in a federation a new tradition of respecting minority rights may be started. (Ojala! as the Spanish say.)

I've heard that some Iraqis in America want to move back home so they can help form a government based on our Constitution for their homeland.

Would be a VERY interesting development if we started exporting that :)
