[joshcryer]

This is an actual genocide / ethnic cleansing.

1. The Yazidi:

The Yazidi (also Yezidi, Êzidî) are a Kurdish ethno-religious community, representing an ancient religion that is linked to Zoroastrianism.[11] They live primarily in the Nineveh Province of northern Iraq. Additional communities in Armenia, Georgia and Syria have been in decline since the 1990s, their members having emigrated to Europe, especially to Germany.[12] The Yazidi believe in God as creator of the world, which he placed under the care of seven holy beings or angels, the chief of whom is Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel.

Who is funding the extreme Islamic group that is killing in Iraq?

2. At that minimum, the US should conduct a rescue operation

We are responsible for overthrowing Saddam and supporting religious terrorists that are destroying Syria. This is the consequence.

3. I agree...

We prevented whole sell slaughter in Libya we MIGHT be able to do the same here...We could provide air support for the Kurds who claim they are trying to clear a path but small towns lie in the way that are sympathetic to ISIS...And that is causing them big problems because they just cant kill everyone in the towns. This is how these types of movements work since Vietnam they fade into the population until it is time to fight then BAM you dont know who is your friend who is neutral who is trying to kill you!
