Re: Kurdistan?
wow that was quite the feat of Necromancy...
while I am pro the idea of people determining their own fate and if the Kurds want their own state they should get one, the entire thing would merely inflate the chaos in what is already one of the most chaotic areas i nthe world and would probably be setting the stage for a war some where down the line...
the whole idea really first requires all the states which would be giving up territory to politically change to a point where they can talk about it without bringing ak 47's... and that goes for the Kurds too... the other alternative is going to end in blood and lots of it

Re: Kurdistan?
I'm for the freedom for the individual kurds, for them to be treated as equal human beings in all things. For a nation of thier own I could not care less, human liberty is a given right, national liberty for it's own sake is a luxury, rightly earned or otherwise.

Re: Kurdistan?
Freedom of people outranks freedom of nation states.
Before I'd commit my nations youth to a pseudo colonial establishment of an ethnic based state I'd want to know what that state would be like.
Would it treat all minorities as equals under the law. Allow all religions to practice and preach equally? Or would it be used to right old wrongs and persecute those not belonging to the majority?
Would it be a fair state or an unfair one? Would we just be trading one despot for another one with a different flag? Would the new set in charge murder, butcher, gas or maim its opponents? Or would we see a vibrant society that treats all justly?

Re: Kurdistan?
How homogenous is Kurdistan?
There must be some sort of Turkish/Iranian/Azeri/Armenian/Iraqi/whatever populations within its borders - would they just become the new minority wanting independence in an independent Kurdistan?

Re: Kurdistan?
This is what happens when you perform necromancy, luckily we have the power to lock the thread, this time...
