The Kurds are true friends and we should bend every effort towards ensuring that we remember it and that they are in a position to support us in every way possible in the Iraq region IMHO.

The Kurds were also the primary instigators and executors of Armenians during the Armenian genocide. The Kurdish land is originally Armenian Christian land robbed from Armenia and ethnically cleansed in a way and in such numbers as to make Saddam's crimes seem minor -- 1 million Armenians were clubbed, knived etc. to death, no gas here.

I can't speak to what happened a hundred years ago. My impression of that terrible period is that it was principally instigated by the Turks.

I know this...the Kurds of today are willing to fight for their freedom. They have stood by us in that fight and they are doing the right things now in northern Iraq now to move towards the goal of a free and stable Iraq.

Those actions speak louder than words...and they are what they people there are doing now. I cannot judge the current people by the actions of their great-great grandfathers. None of us want to be strictly held up to that standard.

If they go back down that path, we would then have to take actions regarding the same. The path they are on now is the one that counts now, and in that regard they are working and figting with us, not against us. I am sure we are doing what we are doing with our eyes wide open.

Should we take revenge on today's Kurds for the sins of their great grandfathers?

What about the Germans and Japanese? Their national sins are even fresher.
