I think this thread might end up with much argumentation over nationalistic ideas. So, what I think or feel about Kurds I probably wont express.. except for the small fact that vast majority of them are irreligious and extremely nationalistic.
Why dont they have their own country? Just because they are an ethnic group, it does not entitle them to their own country. Otherwise, every ethnic group would be copying the PKK terrorists and blowing innocent people up.
Northern Iraq has large oil reserves. There are cities with many Arabs there, especially as Saddam hussein encouraged ARabs to move there. Kirkuk and Sulemaniye are strategically important and would definitely be among any proposed independent "Kurdistan" state. The Arabs will not allow that.
The Turks will not either.
The USA and UK only care about filling their own pockets... They only speak about human rights according to their interests. Therefore, if they feel they can form a better relationship of poodle and master with the Kurds, and the Kurds better at playing fetch than Arabs, then thats the course they will take. -- They didnt care about Kurds when the British were bombing them in the 1920s, or when handing over chemicals to Saddam Hussein. They certainly do not care about them now.
The fact that any people are waiting and pondering what will be in the political interests of America or Britain, and that their foreign policies can help change any outcome, is a sign of the weakness of the Muslim nations. Money is not an issue. Sincerity and true understanding of Islam is the issue.
Ideally, we should all be respecting and living with each other side by side. We should be treated equally, without anyone thinking what our ethnic background might be. The only thing uniting the Muslims should be the fact they are Muslims. - What we see in places like Iraq, Syria, and Turkey are Muslims who do not care about Muslims. Until this happens, there will never be any good future for any Muslim nation.
