I just want to update my position. I was thinking that if Kurds were given more power than the Sunni and Shia states, Iran would, already having its agents operating in the area and providing funding (specifically to cause instability- Iran has hated Iraq for centuries), be able to completely take over two thirds of Iraq and create a pseudo "greater Iran". I would think this can be counterbalanced with a heavily armed Kurdistan, but its border would be right next to Turkey- and the Turks hate the Kurds AND the persians. Considering a UN force in the area is worthless (Hezbollah rearms under their nose in the Israel-Lebanon border and they packed up and left at request of Nasser before the 67 war in the Egypt-Israel border), I really can't think of a good idea.
I think everyone is just ****ed.
