On Constitutions which use the word "indivisible": An observation.

This will be a really short Essay, but I think it's a question which needs to be answered.

Has anyone else around here noticed that every time the clause "The State is Indivisible" or equivalent appears in any country's Constitution, that country has a chunk of its land and people who emphatically do NOT want to be part of it?

The hazard of backing the Kurds

Of all the belligerents in the current middle east conflict, the Kurds are the easiest to sympathize with and understand.
Their political parties are usually the most progressive of the region, sometimes dramatically more progressive.

So what's the harm in backing them? Simple put, all of the neighboring countries distrust the Kurds.
