This is a really good look at the Kurds on the ground in Syria and Iraq and why the US is going to have to change the way they're looking at the Kurds there. Turkey is also going to have to make a course correction if they want to make any headway against the IS. Many, if not most, of the Kurdish groups are considered terrorist organisations by the US and Turkey, despite the fact that they're really the most moderate of the combatants in the region and stand to deal the most damage against IS in the long run.
