The Second Saladin

We the suicide fighters,

heroes of the nation,

lions of black times

We shall sacrifice our

lives and our property

for the sake

of liberated Kurdistan.

We shall wreak vengeance

upon the many guilty hands

which sought

to destroy the Kurds

And that shall serve

as a lesson for the

generations to follow.

— HYMN OF THE KURDISH FIGHTERS

Are there really any cowboys left

in the good old U.S.A.?
