Syrians at risk for genocide should first RUN. Their small local armies need to escort them.

The young people of the Islamic State don't have to die. They can surrender to a land of real religion and not one contrived. They are in a precarious situation whereby they are now locked into confrontation for hopes of winning the day. They haven't reflected on their outcomes if they surrender and ask for mercy. 

The bombing simply degrades the capacity of ISIL to conduct rapid movements through the land. But, the militia still exists. There was a compelling report tonight by Scott Pelli about the small city in Syria whereby Syrian Kurds are conducting their best efforts to fight back against potentially dangerous militias. 

That is noble, but, not prudent. It is noble for journalists as well, but, certainly they know it is not prudent. While the female journalist asked the soldiers about capture I could help but believe she wasn't even reflecting on that potential herself.

The best outcomes for any people whereby militias are closing in and even before it is a realized threat; they need to escape the siege. The army of any town should first put an escort of their town's people to safety in places like Turkey before they sacrifice themselves to a battle they may not win. 

The FIRST and best outcome to genocide is to RUN. All those that survived other such violence did exactly that. The Jewish people in Poland traveled away from their homes to save their lives. The people that did survive Rwanda genocide were those of the people that left and not those that stayed. 

RUN and don't look back.
