Exactly... the Sunnis didn't bother because they didn't think they had a chance, and the Kurds voted in droves because they think that voting will get them an independent state. And I say give it to them. Why the hell is the preservation of the current borders of Iraq as one nation so damn important. Czechoslovaki split into Czech and Slovakia with virtually zero problems. The Kurds have shown themselves to be infinitely more stable and harmonious over the past 15 years than the population as a whole, let them have their own county! And if the Kurds in Southern Turkey want to unite with the new Kurdisstan of Northern Iraq, let them go. Populations are supposed to form a country because they want to, not because they are commanded to do so by some faraway centralized government.
