As to getting others to fight: recall that Maddog McCain last week said we should use the Kurds in Iraq like we did the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. God have mercy on any country Uncle Sam comes in to "help."

The only problem with this one is that we have been looking the other way for at least a decade while the Turks < scoff> our allies < /scoff> have been committing genocide on the Kurds. And we of course, during our support of Iraq (after screwing over Iran and deciding to retaliate against them because they had the audacity to get upset about our meddling in their affairs) we looked the other way while they committed genocide on the Kurds with weapons we provided them.

There aren't enough left to pull it off.

I have a general rule of thumb: when in doubt and needing insight on the enemy of freedom, read either Orwell, Solzhenitsyn, or Lenin. Here I would look at Animal Farm. Clearly some "oppressed minorities" are more equal than others.
