1. Yes, that would be. Sad for them that they are so imprisoned in their own communities. I guess they aren't free to leave, can't afford it or just don't want to leave the familiar. Not a good way to be forced to live.

“2. I live in no gated community. Do you?”
No... and I never have.
One thing your responses seem to lack is an appreciation or even a remote level if understanding the fight-or-die situation the Kurdish people are facing in Syria an Iraq. While applying an American standard would be preferable in a perfect world, these people don’t have the luxury have sitting out aggression. Unlike us, they’re not fighting to support faraway allies or secure an energy source. They’re taking up arms to safeguard their lives and those in their communities who are unable to so. And your earlier labeling of that intrepid young warfighter as a “moron” was over-the-top elitist and ignorant.
