re: and... Lets be clear
Yes, lets 'try' to be clear. The Kurds are what they are and they should be recognized, not abandoned from their rightful lands or rights.
Let's use the American Indian perspective in all this. Those in the U.S. with U.S. history literacy will understand this. The American Indian has been recognized, albeit through some very hard times. Can't those bordering countries do the same?
I refuse to believe that their hearts are that hard and inhumane.
If so, it will be something they will regret.
