i think the answer comes in the question.
There is no "Iraq" outside of the western colonial powers that carved the map in that way to begin with....both way back when, and now. If i were a Kurd...i would have zero qualms about claiming the right to exist in a state that was responsive to my needs, and would bitterly oppose subjugating those interests to the outsider's pipedream of a united iraqi state. There is no such thing as an ontological iraqi...and i see no profit in pandering to that delusion.
There's no glue there...and plenty of cause for friction.
