Kurds to die in battle or thru cleansing Raqqa for Sunnis to predominate

Barnard & Kingsley's Memo from Turkey, Arming Syrian Kurds Could Come at a Cost misses the point on the biggest cost, the squandering of a valuable ally for peace in the region. The Kurdish desire a nation of their own. Its what drives their pesh merga to fight so fiercely, particularly two summers ago when retaking Kobani, a predominately Kurdish city in north eastern Syria, back from ISIS. With the conquest they came with a positive Kurdish political union to govern their own and a perfect fit with their ultimate goal. The retaking of Sunni Raqqa from ISIS using Kurdish fighters against the will of Turkey and other twisted agendas does nothing for their goal of nationhood and sets them up to fight to their death either in battle or afterward thru the cleansing of Raqqa to let Sunni Arabs predominate.
