The Kurdish people welcome the no-fly zone protection, contrary to the Iraqi regime that is against it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In Syria, a no-fly zone targeted at Assad's air force and safe zones for refugees fleeing the fighting would help tamp down the death toll that plays into the hands of ISIS and other Sunni militants who can position themselves as the only groups that are really defending the Sunni population.
Long-term, we must figure out a way that the Kurdish territory within Iraq operates with a certain amount of autonomy so that they feel comfortable and safe going back.
The Kurds were the only people in Iraq who were completely unguarded in expressing their gratitude to the United States for setting them free.
I think declaring a no fly zone over foreign soil is tantamount to an act of war.
We ought to be providing protective sanctuaries for the Kurdish rebels. That means finding some places where they can come and to which we will then be able to provide food and water and medical help.
The Kurdish people have the right of self-determination like every other nation in the world.
Turkey will not let Turkish territory or airspace be used in any activity that could harm the security or safety of Syria.
All along, American policy has been, 'We don't establish a Kurdistan.'
The Iraqis need help establishing a government. We have to provide them with security.
It's what the Iraqi people are going through right now. They have encountered a victorious, hostile force-but, you know, there they still are. There their culture is, there their history is, they're not going anywhere.
