Reminds me of the "Kurdish Intifada" of 2004, which started at a football game in Qamishli, when Kurds chanted "long live Bush." Arabs chanted back, "long live Saddam Hussein." America has walked into a hornets' nest of competing nationalisms. #Syria #Kurds #Turkey @brett_mcgurkhttps://twitter.com/OmerOzkizilcik/status/1059076402681655297 …

Joshua, America’s chargé d’affaires in Damascus (2006? 2007?) was a friend of yours. He (sarcastically) told you that since they don’t speak to the Syrian gov, his role will be to invite Kurdish dissidents to dinner.
