I know Kurdish are around 35 million or more in population but could you bring all this number together and get 5 million of them united, it never happened in the Kurdish history in the Middle East from 4,000 years ago until now. It's could be around 20 years only that the Kurd involve in civilization in their region, they used to live traditionally in villages and still they cannot participate in countries of surrounding area, not enough education and e.tc. We believe that Kurd will facing civil war again as they are not qualifying people (Not enough experience of power) to running what they have at the moment in the Iraq region.
Kurdish request in the region will motivating other country to persuade Kurd for freedom not to help but to use them to make trouble for the country they lives in and other Kurdish part.
The freedom that achieved in Northern Iraq (Kurdish area) are not strong as the Kurdish leader try to influence power on each other and saying that this achievement is our work no other political party which is similar to Dictator, so Kurdish people not happy of such idea and might not appreciating to have their own region running by themselves.

How are Christians treated in Iran?
Answer 1
In Syria Christians have full and equal rights as Muslims. There are Christians in the Syrian Parliament and even Christian Ministers. Christians in Syria do not follow Islamic law and aren't forced to. While there are general courts that handle general matters (like property and criminal liability) there are also separate Christian courts for issues like Marriage or Divorce just like the separate Islamic Courts that handle the same thing.
About same is applied in most Arab countries except maybe Saudi Arabia but I'm not so sure about that.
Answer 2
Contrary to what many Apologists say on this subject, there are certainly conflicts and hardships between the Muslim and Christian communities in across the Arab World. Such issues are made quite clear when we see repetitive church bombings and hecklings of Christians occur in Egypt and when the Coptic Pope is forced to apologize for "offending Muslim sensibilities". We also see Churches and young Christians attacked for no reason by both Syrian Government and Rebel Forces in the Syrian Civil War. We see Iraqi Christians forbidden from selling beer and wine in the open street and prohibitions on asserting their Christian identities.
The reasons for the conflict are primarily based in the inequality afforded religions in the Arab World. Egypt is a good case-study. Christians, while Egyptian citizens, do not have the same legal protections in certain cases (such as the lack of the Christian right to build new or repair old churches while Muslims can easily build and repair mosques) and in other cases where the laws place Christians and Muslims on equal footing, there is a tendency to treat the Christians as inferior (such as property law). Christians are also expected not to openly drink wine (such as in restaurants that are exposed to the street or in other public places) and not to openly eat pork to avoid offending Muslims. Proselytization to Christianity is also forbidden by law, even though Islamic proselytization on Christians is permitted. It is very similar to South of the United States in the 1970s or 80s as concerns integration of Blacks into a White dominated society. As to why the Muslims keep forcing the Christians into this lower position, most honestly do not realize how unequal the system is (see Answer 1) because Christians have no power to speak out against it (due to rights restrictions in Egypt).
As for Answer 1's particular discussion of the Syrian court system. The separation between Christian and Muslim only works for private life-cycle matters. However, most court cases are brought in general courts. These courts have a tendency to not accept a Christian's evidence as well as a Muslim's, and to indict a Christian for crimes that they would not apply as often or at all to Muslim citizens. The system has the appearance of justice while being slanted towards the dominant Muslims. As for the Christian ministers in the Syrian Parliament, not only is the Parliament a joke since Assad has almost all of the power in Syria, but the Christian Ministers are not allowed to advocate for any serious change to Syrian policy especially as concerns their constituency.

Was Iran allied with Germany during World War 2?
Iran would have been a German ally, and was on the verge of offically taking that position, when to prevent that from happening in a swift, coordinated move both the British (from the south) and the Soviet Russians (from the north) invaded and swiftly overran the country. There was virtually no resistance to this invasion. This opened up a supply line into southern Russia that was usable year round, unlike the Russian ports on the Arctic Ocean, which were frozen in six months out of the year. This supply line was vital to keeping the Russians in the war. Though no resistance was made to the invasion, not everyone in Iran was happy with the foreign troops there, or willing to just accept the situation. After America got into the war, which was after Iran was overrun, American troops were also in Iran to help maintain this supply line, which was partly on roads built for the purpose. I had an uncle who was a telephone lineman, and was in Iran to maintain the telephone lines run alongside the supply road. He was on a jeep with eight or ten other guys, which hit a mine, or was attacked with a roadside bomb, just as is seen in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My uncle was the only survivor, and was very badly injured. There was not a German within hundreds of miles.
How might the history of Greece have changed if the Persians had succeeded at the marthonon?

Iran's economy and military and anything in between was some how modeled Americans.He was the first Muslim leader to establish realtionship with Israel and urged president saddat of Egypt to make peace with the Jewish state. He aligned Iran's interest with that of USA in the region and was instrumental in keeping soviet union's ambitions in check by signing many military agreements with US.

He did what he could to keep Iran growing and being in peace with its neighbors in that very volitale region.
