1. Good morning Tris. Since you seem to have a strong interest and knowledge in this general topic I was asking for **your** best solution to the Kurdish problem. I hope American politics will be kept out of it.

2. I agree with you. I think Ben would have also agreed:

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”  
– Benjamin Franklin (1706-90), American public official, writer, scientist, helped draft Constitution
