There must be some reason that Turkey does not want a Kurdish state. It seems as much an opportunity for peace with the Kurds as it does an opportunity for future conflict.
Hypothetically, such a state might temper Kurdish hostilities against Ankara. Although it's also reasonable to assume that those Kurds would draw power from an independent state, and eventually rise up against Turkey with more power than they have today.
Of course, that's looking at it from the outside. The power brokers who have been casting / luring millions of young men to their deaths for generations will probably find a way to re-ignite "tension" regardless of what the rest of us comprehend as an amicable solution.
I'm not really sure how much more patience the western allies have with this region of the world, but if that patience is tied solely to the existence of a need for petroleum, America will lose that long game to Russia's vast deposits.
Not too sure of American long term strategy, anymore. Is there one? because not going to war is pretty freaking easy for 99% of People.
