I believe you completely missed JW's point on the Kurdish situation. They do have to be dealt with, and I don't necessarily mean militarily. They are the largest ethnic population without a land of their own, they are the largest minority in northern Iran, northern Iraq, southern Turkey and also in Jordan. Turkey has shown the ability to not go with the flow that the US wishes, as we saw in their vote to not allow the US to advance on Iraq from their soil, who knows how they will approach the Kurds. Turkey does not want to see the Kurds gain any power. The Turkish/Kurdish situation could prove to be a very big deal.

Also, the US let the Kurds down in a big way after the first Gulf War, I am sure they will hesitate to trust us completely, this time around. They will be looking to take control of their fate when they see the opportunity.
