Because the Kurds overlap with nearly everybody in the Middle East, on account of their
being cheated out of a state in the post-First World War peace treaties, they are emerging, in effect, as the
natural selector—the ultimate reality check. They have destabilized Iraq and may continue to disrupt states
that do not offer them adequate breathing space, while strengthening states that do.
Ya que puede tener muchas interpretaciones, busco la mejor opción.
