        This is unfair to the Kurds. They should be allowed the right to self-determination.

        People act like the Kurds have no memory. But they do. And they've been shafted more than once by their friends.

        That is so unfair to the Kurds who have earned this after years of living and fighting on the frontline with ISIS.
