It is like Lebanon + Kurdistan but with far few Christians - called Assyrians, Chaldeans etc. The tribes referred to are Arab tribes. The problem with an independent Kurdistan is I fear the minute it is recognized it gets attacked by Turkey just like Bosnia was the minute Germany recognized the new state. There is effectively a Kurdish state now, just no-one recognizes it formally and they claim they want to be part of Iraq in the future when Saddam is gone. The existence of the Kurdish state showed just how weak the Iraqi government was under the sanctions and no-fly zone and was a major point against war on Iraq. If they can't control Kurdistan how the hell will they attack anyone else?
