I am all for it. Galbraith wrote an interesting critique of OIF in about 2006, called The End of Iraq. One of the points he belabored was that a possible silver lining was Kurds getting their own home as a result.


Granted, he was a little biased having worked with the Kurds quite a bit when he was in government. Let's just say that I am not the only person who referred to OIF as OKF: Operation Kurdish Freedom.


I still want to see that come true, even moreso now that Erdogan is playing the neo-caliph in Istanbul.
