    Hey faded glory, there's this button just to the left of 'a'. Next time you post, just tap that button first, okay? I promise it'll be awesome.

          In the turkish part of what-would-be kurdistan there is something much more valuable - water. The turks are busy building some dams in the area and probably will be a little pissed if they were to loos that.

              Thank you. That was much better. Unfortunately, though I am amazingly intelligent, I only drive a minivan and I don't drink coffee. Must be why I don't get the joke.

                  I'm more than a little skeptical about this report. IMO, it wouldn't be a bad outcome, if it would be possible to divvy up the country. But I doubt they would be able to divide the oil revenues. The land on which the Sunnis reside is largely bereft of oil.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Iraq oil fields distribution

                    There's also a link to the areas occupied by the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds.
                    What?

                      If not for the Kurds in Turkey, I would support the notion of an independent Kurdistan to use as a thorn in Iran's side the way Iran uses Hizbollah as a thorn in the Israeli side.

                        I've seen it elsewhere. It's not really a great loss, since Iraq was an artificial creation anyway.

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.
                          Stop it. You made me think that Slaughtermeyer posted something sensible.

                            So what if it's artificial - we are living in a multicultural world where we shall respect people from other cultures - they just have to learn to live with each others.

                              Can't we hand the place over to Turkey, like in the good old days?

                                What's nonsensical about thinking Kurds might harbor irredentist ambitions?
