Foreign Affairs Why Would the Kurds Do America’s Dirty Work? Everyone’s favorite Middle Eastern minority has been left out to dry one time too many. Will the Kurds fight the government in Tehran at Washington’s urging, opening a new ground front in Iran?

Santiago/Getty Images) With the Iran war going very poorly, President Donald Trump has given increasing indications that he is looking for an off-ramp. He made the mistake of listening to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and other hawks in the run-up to the war, and now their Pollyannish predictions have all fallen flat. Declaring victory and getting out as soon as possible is far and away the best option available. U.S. soldiers have been killed and injured, oil prices are skyrocketing…Open
