""The best solution to Iraq at this point is to divide the countries to at least 3 with strong Kurds in the north and leave the other group to fight themselves for many years.""

Kurdistan! when was Kurdistan a state to make it be one now! We heard of the persian states in History, the Roman states, Arab states, Ottoman or Turks..etc..but when was there a Kurd one!! and which Kurds are you talking about?? The Akraad or the Kurdufayliya!! What happens to Turkmans in Kurdistan!!

The dream of Kurdistan as a country -other than confiderated- is just a waste of time..there will be no Kurdistan state, and if ever any rises, it will be squeezed by Iran, Syria and Turkey...it looks like these days Kurdistan (Iraki Province) has become a harbor for Kurd terrorist activists that started to carry out operations in Turkey!! Other than Afghan Terroristan, now we have Kurd Terroristan seeing the light..The future of nationalist Kurds is unfortunatly not friendly..better be smart now than to learn the hardway later..America left them alone when Saddam used to massacre them..America will leave them alone at any time the date of interest expires in box of Kurdish service..

"Even Saladin Al Ayubi who was Kurdish, he identified himself as an Arab and fought in the name of Islam.." Harrak
