Prior to him becoming VP, I thought Biden was an advocate for this.

Also, in regards to the original post, pre-2003 Iraq was Sunni dominated. In fact, they used chemical weapons against Iraqi Shiites as well as the Kurds.


EDIT: Also, I may disagree with some minor details some are putting forth, but by and large, everything of value I could add has been said. Turkey would never allow an independent Kurdistan, and dividing up the oil equitably is a bigger pain than most diplomats would care to handle. Although it will be interesting if the reports that ISIS is backed by former prominent Sunni Ba'athists prove to be true...
