Will the Kurdish Regional Government be able to gain Indipendent from Iraq?

Question

Peace and Stability in the Kurdishtan Region of North Iraq

Answer 1

The Kurds must be able to prove that it can have its own government, establish a definite territory and sustain sovereignty in order to become an independent state.

Answer 2

Having been there, I would say since they really are not speaking with the rest of the country, I would say they already are. The Kurdish areas really look nice and the areas and economy is growing. Economically it is growing by leaps and bounds. The thrust for those in business is that Kurdistan is growing so fast that its main problem is that it can't build everything its people want and need as fast as they want to without bringing in equipment and investment from outside the country. The more general point is that regardless of whatever bad stuff we're hearing about the rest of Iraq, Kurdistan is a pretty nice place and we ought to consider going there, being their friends and helping them make the most of their potential. The longer video on the economy even wraps up with this appeal to tourism:

As long as the war in Iraq continues, the country will continue to move in that direction. If the area can develop a stonger judical system and put more checks and balances in it's government, I see it as a very positive sign.

The Kurdish would like to keep the rich oil to themselves, but understand, they must at some time give some of it up o the rest of Iraq. Unfortunately the US is not able to get any cooperation with the rag tag government they put in because they are all on the take. As long as that continues, and I see that going for 10 more years, Kurdish will continue to prosper and be independant by default.

It really is a beautiful place to be
