Give The Kurds A Country, By Jamil Shawwa

The Kurds who reside on the borders of Iraq, Turkey,
Syria and Iran deserve their own state. A Kurdish
state will add another layer of foundation towards
stability and long term peace in The Middle East. 

A new Middle East consists of the traditional Arab
states: Israel, Iran and Afghanistan will help to
diversify interests, nationalities, religions and
eventually will shift the focus of the people there
from struggle and conflict into cooperation. I see the
Middle East with Kurdistan and Israel besides the
older Middle Eastern states as the new Europe that
Will have all the European countries into the EU
despite the differences in religions, languages and
cultures. 

The main focus of the new Middle East will
be on economics. That is the long term goal. The short
term goal of having a Kurdistan is to minimize the
ability or the prospect of Turkey, Iran, Syria and
Iraq to in any way be an aggressor in the area,
meaning having Kurdistan as a buffer zone will help to
create a more peaceful or an oasis in the middle of
all these countries. 

It will also help to reduce the
drug trafficking which is very active in the area. As
the domino effect of having the Kurds state continues;
the countries in the area will have less ethnic
conflicts and will focus on economic stability within
their regions and the rest of the world.
