The following is part of a longer article. I supported Allen West's re-election Congressional Campaign in 2012. Even before reading this article, I was planning on supporting West for Senate in 2016. This is the type of leadership that's needed in the U.S. Congress:

Here is the solution. The Kurds are the most pro-Western and pro-Israel people in the Middle East — I should know since I was there. If we were to finally fully back an independent and autonomous Kurdistan, we would have little issue from Northern Iran to Northern Syria. We make it very clear that we will not support any Kurdish terrorist activity such as the PKK. A strong Kurdish alliance would be a bulwark against Islamic jihadist expansion, Islamist growth in Turkey, and Iranian hegemonic expansion. The Kurds are the worlds largest ethnic group without a homeland.
I find it ironic and hypocritical that the liberal progressive left opines daily about “Palestinians” who are just displaced, nomadic, and terrorist-supporting Arabs. Palestine is a region. The Kurds have always been a separate and distinct people with a different culture and language — and very accepting of Christians.
