    It is a stone-age barbaric religion now allied with the Democrats.

    Where do you get this stuff? We are not talking about the religion, which certainly is evil, but the people themselves. Here in Albania there are mosques and churches close to each other. The Muslims here, the vast majority, have compartmentalized their religion for the sake of civic peace.

    The same thing happened in the continent of Africa; crooked European rulers using straight rulers to divvy up lands for there own gains, regardless of actual ethnicities and histories.

    Yes. That did happen. But lest we think such devious practices are the domain of powerful nations, smaller nations do it to their own people. The Turks, Iraqis, and Iranians despise the Kurds. The Bosnian genocide is another example. We can even go back to the Armenian genocide. After World War II the NATO alliance and the Warsaw Pact nations played a real-life game of RISK with much of Europe. The United Nations partition of Palestine created a mess that continues to this day.

    There is plenty of blame that can be levied against many nations. The United States is not exempt. Some of the blame is the result of good intentions gone bad. Some of the blame is due to bad intentions from the beginning. Some things can and have been fixed like the fall of Soviet rule in many Warsaw Pact countries. Some things cannot be so easily fixed and the world must learn to live with the fallout. Let us hope that cooler heads will prevail where Iran is concerned.

    I agree pretty much with what you said. BTW, the Kurds are not exactly the perfect downtrodden angels that Western narrative has suggested. They have their skeletons and devious back story. During the Armenian Genocide the Kurds sided with the Turks. They paid money to the Turks for permission to attack, rape, rob, and sell into slavery the Armenians. These Armenians were supposedly under the protective custody of the Turks, as hey were escorting them into Syria.

    Much of this information was gleaned from personal visits to Yerevan's Genocide Museum (What an eye-opener that was!) and books like "Ravished Armenia", by Aurora Mardiganian.

    In the USA, we have the red-green alliance. Green is the color of Islam; red is communism. The leftist Democrat party is aligned with Islam to eradicate Jews & Christians. It is a strange alliance because Islam will defeat the reds and liquidate the American ethnic Jews & throw the Democrat-voting homosexuals & lesbians off high-rise biuldings. Mohammed was 54 when he honeymooned with 9 year old Alisha.

    There you go again. You are talking about American domestic politics and siding with Iran & Russia as well as American leftist allied with Islam. The Democrats like the Iranians and compare them to their great leader Jim Crow. In Toronto they held a candlelight vigil for the fallen general, who is now in the Islamic heaven with 72 virgins--not the Christian heaven.
