And the best way to make this up to the Kurds is to .... continue more of the same? No. The Brits and yanks helped bad men put the Kurds through a lot, and now they are helping the Kurds by deposing a powerful, anti-kurdish regime. I see it as a good thing.

RESPONSE: I hope you are right, that the Kurds will have peace and freedom and self-determination, but it is very unlikely. The best oil reserves are under traditional Kurdish land. I do not believe that the U.S. Government is going to allow a Kurdish group any real say in the allottment of that oil. Turkey is very concerned that the Kurds do no gain any political power or they will strike. The Turks have long abused the kurds within their own country.
