Birth of a Nation?

Well they will probably just do what they did with the Greeks...

Or seriously they can say you can stay in Turkey and be a Turkish Kurd or you can go south into the independent state and be a New Iraqi Kurd. The choice is yours. However under no circumstances can the Kurdish state take any Turkish land. That last bit should be backed by the US, NATO and the UN.

You mean when the Kurds try and take the parts of Turkey that they consider theirs. The Turks smack them back hard and boot out any Kurd that won't swear alligance to Turkey. That may have worked for like 2 million Greeks in 1923 but I doubt it would work for like 10 million Kurds now.

That is why I added the serious bit.

Give them the option to stay or go... it is much like the division of Pakistan and India...

The Kurds in Turkey will be one big problem to crack. Neither the Turks nor the Kurds will give in on this one.....

Or for a bigger nut to crack , what about the Kurds and the Kurds ?
The "good" Kurdish terrorists are still fighting the "bad" Kurdish terrorists , and there is a real possibility that the "good" Kurdish terrorists will go back to fighting each other again .
I wonder which of the "good" ones will be considered the "bad" ones then ?
This "Birth of a Nation" thing is complicated stuff innit
