I agree with the bombing and I also think the Kurds are the only ones holding this country together. They are the only ones making ISIS back down. Our air strikes have given them time and confidence. If we can only get that idiot out as PM in Bagdad, maybe we can defeat these terrorist and send them back to the Hell they came from.
The Kurds are a minority there. And they're hated by the Turks, Arabs, and Iranians. Any victories for them will be victories for them alone. And they'll likely be temporary ones. The Turks will never allow them to gain too much power or independence. In fact, Turkey is extremely angry with us right now for backing the Kurds. I see a major conflict between them at some point.
The Sunni see any Shiite leaders as American/Iranian Puppets. So another 'Regime Change' isn't gonna solve the problems. They're not gonna quit fighting. ISIL makes up only a small fraction of the Sunni resistance. So a Civil War will be raging there for many years to come. Our constant meddling comes with a hefty price. Both in human life and in treasure.
