#1 Sounds like they have a fine police and armed forces. Why not let them police the upper sunni areas and take off some of the pressure from our troops. In return we let them have a larger share of the pie? In my mind the sunnis had a chance to play and opted to punt, so if they pay a price for this so be it.

#2 In addition, take away all Syrian and Kurdish areas and make them part of the Kurdish territory as punishment for the Syrians and Iranians. Sure, the Turks will bitch..... but they MAY want to get rid of their part of Kurdistan also. It is trouble for them and has always been.

#3 leaddog2, the Turks don't have enough sense for that. urat will be here soon to prove it. Remember, there was no Armenian genocide.

#4 Kurdistan is a good idea. Screw Turkey and Iran. Out of all the ethnic groups over there, the Kurds are the most seemingly responsible and deserving of a homeland.
