You fail to acknowledge that Kurdistan's independance may be presented to the rest of mankind as a fait accompli arising from no other available option for Iraqi Kurds. That said, you've yet to suggest why a Kurdistan need threaten any adjoining nation. Further, sir, you've yet to indicate why a Kurdistan wouldn't be a net contributor to the region's economic vitality.

S2,
Kurdistan will not threaten any neighbour. It is the neighbours who will threaten Kurdistan.
Kurdistan, if it comes into being, will naturally arouse the ethnic aspiration of the Kurds in Turkey, Iran and Syria.
Obviously, that will not be appreciated by these countries.
Therefore, these countries will put all obstacles in the way to make it difficult for Kurdistan to exist.
Being landlocked and if overflight facilities are not granted, then Kurdistan will have to go over Armenia and everything including oil cannot be sent out by air!
I don't see any transit facilities being given or an oil pipeline passing through the countries of Iraq, Syria or Turkey.

Land-locked? Ocean access? You mean like Switzerland? I don't see it as critical with good neighbors. Don't forget though, Brigadier, that Kurdistan may have no choice but independance without nat'l reconciliation within Iraq.

Switzerland cannot be compared with Kurdistan since it has no problems with its neighbours.
