It's impossible not to...Thank you, my friends.<br /><br />It's impossible not to be stirred by the plight -- and the pluck -- of the Kurds.<br /><br />They have hardly a friend in the world, and (or shall I say because) they stubbornly follow that inconvenient faith.<br /><br />The forty thousand or so who have fled across the border to the refugee camps at Suruç have left homes and belongings and family behind, and of course are under no illusions about their precarious status. Loss of necessities, loss of dignity. Thus would arise a desperate resistance.<br /><br />The liberation of Kobani a symbolic victory, if that, and perhaps temporary as well -- the bad ones still circling unsated in the neighborhood -- but still, a bit as with Gaza, those who are forgotten by history have to make a last stand somewhere, if they can, and where better than at home, in the end.<br /><br />In any case, it's my understanding from very far away that those who have left Kobani are now intent on returning.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-54841764178316426942015-01-31T21:55:34.665-08:002015-01-31T21:55:34.665-08:00This is a brilliant composition, Tom.

Meanwhile, now that Kobane is liberated, ISIS has now attacked Kirkuk, an even more touchy target because it's disputed between Kurds and Sunnis, which means ISIS could have political leverage with at least part of the population. The horror continues.Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497545378045907642noreply@blogger.com
