In mid-January 1991 the UN-authorized offensive against Iraq began and we stayed up at night to watch a country being bombarded – live and in colour on CNN.
On 09.10.2019, “we” are watching Turkey launch military operations against Kurds in Syria, live and in colour – on France 24.
We are all for pulling out of endless wars; but there is a far better way of doing it than abandoning your allies and leaving them to perish, almost overnight.
