    Might sound crazy, I know, but I’m having trouble trusting a jihadist after what’s happened to Kurds at their hands in the last decade.

    I may come to trust him slightly if he allows free and fair presidential elections, which I strongly doubt he ever will.

    Saladin was a Kurd. There probably are statues of him all over the country.

        So did the Assads. He’s the national hero, I guess. So that should make Kurds obvious cool badasses by association…no?
