Arming and sectarian divides
Middle East Briefing, Aug 11, 2014 The United States and others are in the processing of arming the Kurds to fight against the (paradox of paradoxes, American supplied) ISIL (or da-esh, in Arabic). This raises the question as to whether Syrian Kurds should be armed as well, or whether their Iraqi brethren will send some bullets their way. Unfortunately, this may change the dynamic of who is fighting whom. If this arming is done, it risks becoming (perceived as) a Kurdish-Arab fight, rather than a government vs terrorist fight.

Bondholders 1, Argentina, 0
Various sources Argentina defaulted on its bonds in 2001. 90% of those bondholders accepted pennies on the dollar in 2005. The holdouts recently won in the US Supreme Court, forcing Argentina to negotiate with them. Whether these negotiations will allow the country to eventually return to the bond market, or will make its economy collapse is an open question.
