I have to wonder at the people I see on TV calling for America to send troops to fight ISIS on the ground. That's a job for the locals. It's up to them to free themselves. The Kurds are setting an example. We should support the Kurds directly (not indirectly, as we do now). We are not the world's police force, and we should not be constantly putting our military in harm's way.
As far as I can tell, we offer the Kurds only lukewarm support, because we want to maintain the weird national boundaries that the British Empire set up 90 years ago. We want Iraq to remain intact, so we don't really arm the Kurds, who want out of Iraq. We should stop doing that. Let the borders change into something that makes sense to the local peoples.
