re: Kurdish State:

The current solution is much like the Taiwan solution: de facto sovereignty, backed up by a powerful foreign patron, without a formal Declaration Of Independence. This situation can continue indefinitely.

The Kurds already have a government, an army (two, actually), a territory they control. They have the backing of, and can maintain alliances with, all those who don't want the Arab Sunnis to regain control of Iraq: the U.S., the Iranians, and the Shia Iraqis.

This is the first step in Iraq going the way of Yugoslavia, and for the same reasons. State borders that don't match language/race/religion/culture borders, are inherently unstable.
