All you say is pretty much accurate. I posted a fairly long comment on FR about the Kurds in July this year, soon after all this ISIS crap started in Iraq. Will look for it later, am pressed for time now.

By the way, the Kurds are actually an Iranian ethnic group. Not sure if you knew that. Pesh-merga, for example, is Kurdish pronunciation, in Persian it is pronounced "Peesh-marga". The fact that they are ethnically Iranian, and different to both Arabs and Turks (although sunni like the mentioned two) has always meant they're and will be the odd one out. And, despite at times rivalry between Persians and Kurds (both Iranians), The Kurds have Always allied with Iran when fighting the Turks, and Arabs, throughout history.

Yes, I knew about the Iranian (whatever it was called then) origin.

I cheered the Iranian youth as they tried to overthrow the Mullahs in their election, which was stolen. They did well until the Mullahs hired foreign como people to track them down. Mullahs arrested thousands, killed more than 1/2 of them from what I read. Evil B_tards.

Obama backs ISIS for some reason, but cannot let it out. So he act like he supports, but does so with great reservation.

This is about oil and old rivalries.
