I think that is what is being done in the Middle East by the US. Until the Sunnis and Shiites want to fish and protect their homeland we will only be feeding them for a day. I sense the Kurds already know how to fish and can continue to feed themselves for a lifetime.

Very good point. This ISIS is a Middle Eastern problem until or if they attack targets in the UK, Europe, and/or the United States. Then it becomes an international one.
Arming the Kurds is a solution. I just hope that does not end up like arming the Iraqis in the Iran-Iraq War and the Afghanistani against the Soviets.
