Kurdish Independence.

"Turkey inching Toward Alliance with U.S. in Syria Conflict" highlights Turkey's conflict with the Kurdish people.  Kurd's are fleeing northern Syria into the arms of their Turkish brethren. Both Turkey and Iran have large Kurdish populations who are seeking independence.  The Iraqi unity government is doomed to fail because of the beyond repair split between Shia and Sunni fostered by Maliki's politicization of the Iraqi Army.  Expect the independence of the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Also expect its expansion northward. Turkey had better learn to accept an eventual accommodation as a consequence of degrading ISIS.
