Many of the Iraqi Kurds want to get back territory stolen from them by the Brits, and its allies, when partitioning the Ottoman Empire back in the 20's thus creating Iraq, and dividing up what was Kurdistan, which include parts of southeastern Turkey, northern Syria, northern Iraq, and western Iran, under the Treaty of Lausanne. However, there can be no justification for the US to occupy a country which does not present a threat to the US itself. ISIS would not exist if not for the interference of the US.


It may be more acceptable to ones conscience if those who are calling for more military involvement had actually served in the military, or would be willing to join the military, and go fight the war. Cowards like Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, etc., who never had the balls to join the military yet are so willing to send others off to die when they would not do so. Reminds one of the actions of Clinton during Vietnam.
