The Kurds are at risk, but there’s nothing new about that. We should base any assistance on our national interest, not on being Mr. Nice Guy to every put-upon tribe in the world.

I have some mixed feelings about that, as the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan actually thanked the US for removing Saddam.

Exactly. The guys I know who deployed to northern Iraq said the Kurdish Peshmerga were the best and most reliable troops over there... far better than those Arabs.
