On the recordSeptember 5, 1996
There is great suffering going on in northern Iraq. I thought that the Kurdish people would maybe reach a period of tranquility here. They are one of these sad ethnic groups that spread over three, actually four, nations, with the geographic lines changing over the past several centuries multiple times. The only Nation that I can think of that has been cut up into four different nations like this is the once great nation of Armenia, now down to less than a fourth of its original size; the first nation as a nation to embrace Christianity in the 300's, the fourth century, and now we learn about these Kurdish people dividing among themselves, starting to kill one another.
