I support it, but the argument against is:
- partitions have historically been very messy, and often have made bad situations worse
- runs the risk of antagonizing Turkey, a key ally to the West (and Iran/Syria key allies of Russia)
- runs the risk of merely throwing the rest of Iraq to the wolves.
- they have plenty autonomy at the moment anyway
I'm pretty sure it is inevitable though, but can only be achieved upon defeat of ISIS and a cessation of the conflict. Declaring independence now would not be helpful.
My thoughts exactly. But I really hope that one day there will be an independent Kurdistan.
