1. Kick - going to be a major issue.

[Renew Deal]

2. Yes, but I doubt you'll get it in Turkey.

Probably not Iran either.

[KamaAina]

4. Turkey won't even want it on their border

Not sure what they plan to do about it, though.

6. If the Kurds start setting up their own state in Syria...

I think will take some real hubris for the Turks to attack them with force, I could see a border closure and embargo.

Erdogan is a tyrant.

7. Nice sig line!

Maika'i no, E ellisonz! (very fine, indeed)

3. Voted yes, but

Best of luck trying to get Turkey to agree to that. The Iraqi government might have a problem as well.

5. Kurdish communities should have self rule and democracy

That's not necessarily the same thing as a "state".

The red-line enclosed area on this map also notably does not include some of the key Kurdish areas of northern Syria where Kurdish fighters have been battling ISIS without much help from western allies.

8. As far as what I've heard the Kurds of northern Syria aren't even asking for a Kurdish state

They are fighting for a muti-ethnic participatory democracy and self governance without particular borders, a system could provide a basis for peace in the war torn areas of Syria and Iraq. Basically they can fight ISIS and replace the vacuum with this system of alternative democracy that they are already using in northern Syria.

9. Not our business.

Let other countries handle their own choices and making them happen.
