Kurdish nationhood would take out a big swath of instability in the region

Supporting Kurdish nationhood goes beyond fairness to understanding that they have the political unity to pacify the region. Their pesh merga militia independently took back the Syrian city of Kobani from ISIS in 2015.  Kobani is a Kurdish city and was a difficult hold for a Sunni Arab overlord trying to govern a population of non brethrens fighting for nationhood.  It was an example of a moderate politic defeating an extreme one.  It caught the eye of the U.S. military as the weapon to defeat radical Islamists.  As usual with our military interventions is the lack of thought given to what happens after winning the battle.  Conquest leave a political vacuum. While diplomatically inconvenient Kurdish nationhood brings a moderate self sustaining politic to fill the void in large parts of Iraq and Syria. Now that the bonds of those whose enemy is my enemy dissolve with the vanquishing of the common enemy the region will once again go back to tribal factions. Kurdish nationhood would take out a big swath of instability in the region.
