Good article. Written from perspective of a writer based in Iraq and US.

Seems very accurate.

Again, the problems in the Region? Turkey and Iran. Past that, most of the region is sick of wars and atrocities.

She is correct, Asharq Al-Awsat is owned by the Saudi Royal family. But that perspective is not unified either.

What I find unfortunate, the perspective of Kurds in Iraq and Syria are so different.

I think SA and Israel see a multi ethnic Northern Syria as a stabilizer between Iran and Turkey with Saudi Arabia and Israel. Strange?

This report mentions “a long standing policy” and then says that it goes “back to the Obama Administration”.

That doesn't sound long lasting to me.

Get out of Syria. We have no business is Syria. This artical is propaganda by the kurd to get you to die for them on foreign soil. The Syrian/ russians will not permit a kurdistan and they will repell any effort to take their land. Get out!!

Yeah, the problem is Iran because they fight Sunni terrorists in Syria who genocide Christians. Not ISIS, not al-Qadea, not the Saudis. Other than than Turkey and Iran, OP thinks the region is basically good and ready to be nice.

Sure, that makes sense.

OP is an old school neocon who wants Dubya’s foreign policy to come back. He keeps flogging this garbage that we need to get more involved in Syria.

Never turn your back on the Saudis, you will find a knife in it, but, it will be a knife made in America.
