Of course, Priests and most Christians abhor violence. Most people in general do. I'm just trying to say the more we fight, the more we die. I agree the US government set the stage for this genocide by pulling out with no thought to what will happen when the troops leave. Even though the Kurds have been fighting on our side since WWII.
That is why I'm saying war is not about saving lives, It's about looting foreign nations and/or forcing governments to capitulate to our (as Americans) demands or accept our puppet in office. If our government is going to invade other nations in the name of democracy, we should stay until there are free elections in that nation. Otherwise, what is a victory? What is being fought for? Wiping out ISIS? We can't even eliminate violent organizations in our own country, how are we going to control them over there? But the Kurds could have been protected if nothing else.
