MY COMMENT IN THE GUARDIANS ARTICLE. Feel free to add a comment too. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/aug/11/iraq-west-hypocrisy-middle-east-yazidi-people?commentpage=2 This is the first time in my life I have supported US/UK intervention in another country. Believe me, when you have followed the struggle of the Kurds as closely as I have over the last 20 years and especially the last two years as the Kurdish forces of YPG have been battling ISIS, al Nusra and a whole host of other groups and winning. But now with ISIS moving over the border and attacking Eziidis with genocidal force creating another Kurdish exodus into more Kurdish mountains and now ISIS threateing to move onto Kurdish cities such as Erbil, Dohuk etc it becomes unthinkable. UK has a historical responsibility to the Kurds and do you really want ISIS growing to a world power like the Nazi grew from a small party to inflict such genocide on the world. I believe this time we, as a world, need to support the Kurds to defeat ISIS once and for all. The Kurds can do it, they dont want you to do it for them but support them! Support them, its the right thing to do!
