There must be a mistake here. Many of us on Freerepublic absolutely LOVE the Kurds. They are without fault.
I was very pro-Kurd based on the news reports—probably posted stuff to that effect on here—and I went through a YouTube phase looking at videos of people joining up with them.
But I noticed the women in these female units were calling each other “comrade” or some such, and then learned how the movement itself was socialist.
Mm....no, sorry, not interested in propping up a Middle Eastern socialist state.
Give the Assyrian Christians an autonomous province or two instead. And weapons. Lots of weapons.
