What kind of fool presumes that partition of Iraq would necessarily be engineered within Washington?

cosmoetica – I agree that the Kuds deserve their own state, just as the Palestinians do. However, it has to be limited to their present geographical area. Unfortunately, the Kurds ambitions are far greater and, as of now, they are not satisfied with leaving Turkey’s, Iran’s and Syria’s Kurdish territory alone. They want more than the people, they want the land to go with it. Look for many more decades of conflict on this issue. Kurds dream about Greater Kurdistan just as Israelis do about Eretz Israel.

BTW- the UK craeted Iraq and Iraqis, not the people living there, who consider themselves other ethnic groups- from Kurds and Turks to Arabs and Persians.

Yes. The Kurds have never been Iraqi, and have been w/o a home, just as the Palestinians. Now, like the Am Indians, they have a source of wealth. Let’em have it, allow Turkey to expel all the Kurds that wanna leave, and strike up an agreement with Kurdistan, so that the US can retain power in the MIdeast.
