Perhaps this would be best. I do agree, that there needs that the wealth needs to somehow be split, but how, I don't know.
And does it matter what Turkey thinks? Why would Kurds having their own state being any worse than then being in Iraq?

If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home."

Re: Should Iraq be split up?
The kurds might start supporting insurgent or terror groups in Iran and Turkey to unite the Kurdish parts of those countries to the new Kurdish homeland. The Turks might then take action against this new Kurdish homeland. Any partition of this nature will have unintended consequences which we will only discover with time. I am not all that convinced it would be a great idea.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

No, Iraq is one nation. They need to learn how to live together. No need to go redefining boarders.
