in the spirit of /n/(rip) i shall comment...
kurds in the north of 'iraq'(iraq: the country with arbitrary borders created by the british in the 1920s) have a large chunk of iraq's oil fields. the south of iraq, which is predominantly shia, has the remainder of the oil fields. central iraq, the largely sunni part(sunnis being the rulers of iraq since it's inception) has almost no oil fields.
therefore a unification of iraq requires the kurdish north to remain a part of iraq, not defect and become their own country of kurdistan. iraq would lose about half of their largest revenue, oil, if a kurdistan were to be created separate from iraq.
