The hazard of backing the Kurds
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 09/02/2015 - 4:22pmOf all the belligerents in the current middle east conflict, the Kurds are the easiest to sympathize with and understand.
Their political parties are usually the most progressive of the region, sometimes dramatically more progressive.
So what's the harm in backing them? Simple put, all of the neighboring countries distrust the Kurds.
