NO, because we lost our high ground when we let the Kurds start their own government system of their choosing.

DAMN! You're absolutely right! We're not all about letting oppressed people start their own government system of their choosing. Why didn't I think of that? We're about forcing them to live as second class citizens under a religious doctrine that they not only don't believe in, but further oppresses them because of some arbitrary lines on a map that were drawn up because Turkey, who has always oppressed them
LOST A WAR AND NEEDED TO BE PUNISHED AND DEPRIVED OF OIL TO MAKE MORE WARS!
Giving the Kurds 1/2 the oil wouldn't be fair, better to let the majority, ruled by mullahs (who we have a great track record with BTW) decide what to do with the whole thing.
An Islamic fundamentalist regime
will take over eventually. And they will deal with the Kurds eventually, probably with our "ally's" help. Thinking that a democracy ruled by a religious order is not going to become a fundalmentalist state as soon as they think they can get away with it is a dream. They already walked out over differences in such principles as marriage and divorce. Southern Iraq
is fundalmentalist Islamic NOW.
How in the hell is Turkey our ally? We ask them for one thing after years of helping them and they extort us for money, then refuse.
The original policy, if I remember correctly, is that the Kurds would have their own state, what about crawfishing on that one?
If 9/11 and OIF taught me anything, its that we have no allies except those who's interest happen to coincide for the moment. And Tony Blair.
