Kurds have a long history of being/wanting to be their own group of people. It may be that this is the area that spawned the Hashishin—from which we get the term, ‘assassin.’

The Kurds have done a lot of nasty stuff in History, Sladin comes to mind...
However... they seem to one of the more “Modernized” groups in terms of culture, they seem to be far more moderate on how they treat women compared to a lot of the other groups in the area, and now just want to be left alone.
I think we need a Kurdish state to act as a buffer betweeen Suni and shia countries...
