There is no lack of will to destroy ISIS among Kurds or the Arabs they dominated. Even the Kurdish women are determined that no more women should be treated worse than animals. If you think they will not kill all of ISIS you are wrong.
The Arab community there is also very agitated. There have been more than 1,000 young Arab women join the YPJ. The want to end the cultural slavery they have been imprisoned in.
Are there issues with the dynamics of the local governments? Probably. But the subjection under ISIS is bad enough to fuse them together where it was not possible before.
The best possible outcome? For a total rework of Syria's government structure to accommodate the necessary changes.
I pray daily that will be the outcome. I have a deep attachment for the Syrian Kurds I have come to know in the past 2-1/2 years. Yes, many of them don't have my perspective. But I like and trust them.
Understand that, but this is not really about them anymore. This is about the United States of America has a chance to other utterly smash the most guilty movement into oblivion and get the world’s attention again.
And the rest of the moslem world including the Saudis need to see it up close, and internalize some healthy fear of the USA.
That would pay benefits orders of magnitude beyond helping some rag tag locals slightly overcome isis.
And a total rework of the Syrian government is the worst possible outcome. Anything other than Assad will result in a Sunni theocracy.
And see how easily you could slip from taking out isis, to reworking the Syrian government? That’s what I fear our leaders will do.
