I can't believe I read such a misinformed comment. There is plenty of oil in Iraqi-occupied Kurdistan. Other resources include agriculture, livestock, fresh water and uranium deposits, to name a few. Your opinion is based on flawed data. How dare you suggest that the Kurds be at the mercy of Baghdad to distribute the oil revenues fairly (under the current agreement) when the central government has had a history of not paying, at times, anything at all? Do you understand the mindset of Iraqi politicians? Do you think they work for all Iraqis equally? Iraq is nothing like a western democracy. People who form opinions often make that mistake. There are no benefits for the Kurds to remain part of Iraq. It benefits the other countries mentioned, who have their own Kurdish population. Kurdistan will be a united, independent nation one day. The only question is: how much longer do the Kurds need to suffer until that day?
