We walked away from the Kurds once before after encouraging them to take on Saddam and at least 100,000 of them died as a result. That stain is on us and shouldn't be repeated.

I hope we do stand by them.
Another issue where a lot is happening.
We'll see what Turkey and to a lesser degree, Iran, Syria and Russia do.
