Just a wild thought(s) for a moment. Allow the Turks to take over the Kurdish north but with a promise for some autonomy for all the Kurds in both former iraa and Turkey. A grand rapprochement is no more ridiculous an idea than all the others being profferred and both the Kurds and Turks have a democratic connection. Forget it. Turks and Kurds are like oil and water. Look at the history. Iraqi Kurds would like the idea no better than they would like the return of Saddam, and do you really think the Turks, after fighting a war against PKK terrorists at the cost of 40,000 lives, want to absorb the armed Kurdish groups operating in Northern Iraq? It might also be wise to recall that what those unaware of the history have been calling Kurdish democracy is little more than a heavily armed truce between the KDP and the PUK. These guys do not have a tradition of resolving such disputes peacefully.
