Well Gus, apparently you are a Baby Boomer according to the History News Network. See excerpt:
Is it Muslim or Moslem?

“When Baby Boomers were children it was Moslem. The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted,”Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam.” No more. Now, almost everybody uses Muslim.”

Thanks for instructing me in political correctness, it’s ok. Now to your substance as to whether I read the article, maybe the headline writer should have read it. On the content of the article, the author ( using quotes supporting that position)makes the statement ,in line with conventional wisdom , that the Iraq war didn’t work ( i.e. was in vain). If it weren’t for the Iraq War and the gains made in establishing Kurdistan as a political entity, Obama’s reluctance to intervene against ISIS would have allowed them to consolidate irreversibly. Without the Iraq War , the Kurds would have been targets of Sadaam Hussein, including poison gas attacks, for establishing the level of autonomy that allowed them to accomplish what they did against ISIS.
