Please remind me, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?
“Please remind me, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?”
In the Middle East there are no good guys. There are only various shades of bad guys. I’d say we need to steer clear until we have a president who will look after America’s interests first and foremost. Instead we have President Urkel who learned everything he knows from faculty lounge discussions.
None of them are the good guys.
Please remind me, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?

You beat me to it. Hopefully some knowledgable Freeper will set us straight.
Bad guys battling worse guys.
Kurds have long been sort of driven to socialistic schemes, as they have little or no representation within Turkey, Syria, Iran or Iraq. The socialist promise held out to the Kurds, much like the socialist promises made to underdog ethnic minorities everywhere in the world, is supposed to give them a “level” playing field with the superior numbers and wealth of the majority within the country they find themselves. Never mind that socialistic schemes have NEVER delivered even one whit of the “prosperity for all” they promise, for the underdog, it looks like a straw to be grasped while drowning.
The Kurds have known nothing except persecution and oppression for centuries, and they have a huge and powerful sense of resentment, expressed in their fierce determination to resist when the opportunity for retribution comes along.
The nation once known as “the United States of America” probably gave the Kurds at least a brief sense of the possibility they may finally unite and rise against their oppressors, but alas, that land is no more, the territory now occupied with a foreign ideology, which has continued to neuter its potential and capabilities. The Kurds may expect little aid from that quarter.
Turkey’s reluctance to cross the Syrian border and defend Kobani is tied up very intimately with their hatred of the Kurds, not particularly their politics. The Kurds are the n****rs of the Middle East, and are more widely despised by the Muslims than even the Jews of Israel.
Muslims bombing muslims. What’s the problem?..................
