Title: Independent Kurdistan

The Kurds are western friendly and non-fanatical Muslims, why shouldn't they have their own independent state? They could help America f!ck up Al-Qaeda, Bashar Al-Assad, and Russia.

Why would you want to f!ck up Assad and Russia? Besides, the Syrian Kurds are allied with Assad and Russia as well as with the United States.

The Iraqi Kurds are aligned with Turkey and thus could not be counted on to help fight ISIS.

I think, even if all four win independence, it would require a pretty decentralized confederation dominated by the Syrian and Turkish Kurds to keep them from being a Turkish puppet.
