Kurdistan At Last

Kurdistan

Apparently the Kurdish people are an ancient people. After World War I they were promised their own state, but this promise was reneged. See e.g. the treaty of Sevres of 1920.

Given the current situation in Iraq perhaps it is time for an independent state of Kurdistan, if the Kurdish people so wish.

I am sure there would be compromises possible over a transitional period with the remaining Iraq regarding crude oil revenues etc. after formation of a an independent Kurdistan.

If Saudi Arabia or some other Arabian countries or Iran object, then this could probably be ignored!
