That is why we should have a Kurdish state.<br />

And now I will answer the second question:<br />

How To Build Up A Kurdish State?<br />

<strong>The</strong> answer to the question “why” was easy. My fear<br />

is the tools to answer the question “how” is more difficult.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most difficult part might be because the Kurdish<br />

nation is divided between five countries that each occupied<br />

one part, that is Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq <strong>and</strong> the former<br />

Soviet Union. Moreover the Kurdish liberation movement<br />

has been infected by several leaderships, each claiming<br />

various reasons for their existence <strong>and</strong> excuses for going<br />

on. So, the decision centers were spread <strong>and</strong> multiple<br />

according to the multiplicity of leaderships <strong>and</strong> their wills.<br />

This was the first difficulty <strong>and</strong> the second one is the<br />

idea of the national security that has not yet found a<br />

place appropriate to its importance in the conscience of<br />

some <strong>Kurds</strong> <strong>and</strong> even in their minds. Some <strong>Kurds</strong> believe<br />

that their distance from their country provides security<br />

for them. Others think their closeness to America or<br />

Russia provides the required security.. Others of them<br />

do not know anything about security except the security<br />

of their positions <strong>and</strong> inheriting it down to their offspring.<br />

Some others, unfortunately, believe in their illusion <strong>and</strong><br />

fear that other <strong>Kurds</strong> are more dangerous to them than<br />

the real enemy, the colonizers of <strong>Kurdistan</strong>.<br />

If the first difficulty was the dissolution <strong>and</strong> the second<br />

was the absence of the idea of national security, the third<br />

one is the fear of courageous initiative <strong>and</strong> creative<br />

imagination. As still some <strong>Kurds</strong> are afraid of even<br />

speaking about a Kurdish state <strong>and</strong> their thinking avoids<br />

imagining it.<br />

However, this proves opposite among other <strong>Kurds</strong>,<br />
