Actually yours is an interesting solution as it may be in everyones interest to neutralize the drive for kurdish independence and offer an alternative model where there can be a federal solution that in the words of the rolling stones may not give the kurds what they want, but just might give them what they need. An independent kurdistan will exacerbate relations between all kurds and the four states they now live in. It makes a bunch of sense.

I will weigh in with a couple of sunday morning thoughts.
1. King Abdullah calls whats going on in iraq as the beginning of a nuke armed iran controlled shiaa arc surrounding sunni arabia from iran to hizbola in lebanon on one side and to eastern saudi shiaa populated oil fields on the other. So perhaps countries like jordan and SA have just as much interest at the US and Israel in stopping the shiaa bomb or deterring use of that bomb by a nuke capablity of their own.
2. At this point for Humpty Dumpty Iraq to be put back together, Sunnis will have to give up zarquawi and the foreign fighters to the shiaa in return for more of a say particularly in the interior ministry in the new govt along with some controls placed on the shiaa militias after zarquawis movement is crushed.. US cant get Z without help from sunni nationalists.
