From a New York Times article today:
In October, Mrs. Clinton announced that she favored a no-fly zone to create “humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air.” She has said little about the proposal in recent months, and there is no sign that it has gained any traction in the administration.
The proposed “no-fly zone” would cover territory now occupied and governed by Syrian Kurds and territory the Kurds intend to conquer from the Islamic State, creating a contiguous stretch of land in Syria that would form a basis for a Syria Kurdistan, or at least a self-governing autonomous province within Syria.
A no-fly zone administered by Turkey or NATO would decrease Kurdish chances of a independence. Syrian Kurdish independence is the one thing of value that might come out of the ShrineHorror. I would object to it and hope Ms. Clinton comes to rethink the project, once the she becomes president.
A “realist” view supports the no-fly zone. See The Realist Case for a No-Fly Zone in Syria | Foreign Affairs. Perhaps Ms. Clinton is a "realist". I hope she is not. Obama is not. The "realist" approach to foreign affairs is not realistic.
The Syrian Women Warriors are especially effective against the Islamic State, whose treatment of women prisoners is especially inhumane.
The Warriors are multiethnic, nonsectarian, feminist, democratic,and do not discrimination the base of race, gender, or religion. The are by far the most effective ground troops against the Islamic State and deserve America's full-throated support, even to the point of risking war with Turkey. They are the one good thing about war.
In short, they hold political positions now cherished by Americans except by the now-notorious Republican Party since it has chosen to be headed by bloviating Donald Trump. The Warriors
