The Kurds are not just some tribe. They are the ancient Mede peoples. They range throughout a region that touches on Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They have been systematically hunted and killed by these created nations for decades.
They have their own culture, traditions, and history.
They have also been among our strongest allies in the Mideast; next to, of course, the Jews.

The Kurds are at least as strong American allies as the Turks--not much, but technically allies. Also, the Medes invaded other countries when they were in power. And the large American ally in southwestern Asia is Israel, not Jews in particular. There are iranian and iraqi Jews who are as against the United States as their Muslim brethren.
