In reply to what happend to the Kurds *poss. trigger* » special_k, posted by 10derHeart on March 23, 2006, at 18:25:39
just jumping in, I don't have the heart (no pun intended) to read through this whole thread. But I would think that if we owe something to a group of people whose fates we have involved ourselves with, it's the Kurds. I had thought that in Gulf War I it was a mistake to leave Saddam in power because we encouraged the Kurds to rebel and then watched them become victims (we wanted them to do our dirty work- realpolitik is not the most principled way of conducting foreign policy).
One can only hope for the best, now. It is horrific.
