“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.
Maybe I am wrong and misjudge the Syrians, Turks, Iranians and Iraqis, but, given their past histories of seemingly ENDLESS warfare between and among them, I seriously doubt that the Kurds will get even one foot of land from any of them. Do YOU see any one of those nations giving the Kurds ANY land, even desert and rocks?
Maybe I'm not being as optimistic as I could be. Google the Kurds and read about the ENDLESS strife that has been a part of their daily lives for as long as there have been Kurds.
I hope they get their wish but I don't see it. Also, I don't think that the USA should go to war for them.
