Why doe a theoretical Kurd exodus from Turkey and Iran to a Kurdish state in current-day Iraq...
You may want to add some salt to that conventional wisdom, of course.

I thought conventional wisdom was that the Kurds would want to make a state out of a combination of their Iraqi land *and* some Turkish and Iranian land, which of course Turkey and Iran wouldn't be too excited about.

Probably because the Kurdish reaction to a new Kurdish state wouldn't be a Kurdish exodus from Turkey & Iran to the new state, but rather an extreme rise in Kurdish irredentism in Turkey & Iran. The Kurds would want to take their land with them when they leave Turkey & Iran. That is the recipe for ethnic civil war in both states.Originally posted by snoopy369 His question, phrased in more complex english: Why does a theoretical Kurd exodus from Turkey and Iran to a Kurdish state in current-day Iraq negatively impact the political interests of Iran and Turkey?I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

I wish I knew who owned RoboCon so that I could tell him/her that it keeps misspelling *Ann* Coulter's name. At least, I think there's no E at the end. Not that her name is worth defending, of course, but I'm nitpicky and the bot's consistent errors annoy me. Other than that, the quality of RoboCon's posts is unmatched on 'Poly.Comment
