GLENN: We are witnessing the birth of a new country, but nobody is looked. In an act that has been a century in the making, the Kurds in northern Iraq voted yesterday to separate and gain their independence. This is going to be huge.

The fallout from the post-World War I Sykes-Picot agreement continues. If you don't know what that is, go to GlennBeck.com, and we will help explain that to you. It's why ISIS exists. It's why a lot of these troubles exist. Is because of what the West did and England did in World War I.

Stage one was ISIS declaring their caliphate and dissolve the Syria/Iraq border. Stage two begins right now. And it is rare that you witness a true privet point in history. But that is what is happening right now in the Middle East.

And after the dust settles, the entire map of the Middle East will look different. But freedom is never free. The prime minister of Iraq is furious. He's given the Kurds until Friday to turn over all of their airports, all of their oil assets, the border crossings. And if the Kurds refuse, Iraq has promised to begin a travel and goods embargo.

The United States is going to abandon the Kurds yet again. Iraqi troops and Iranian-trained Shia militias are moving to the Kurdistan-Iraqi border. Turkey is also moving tanks and troops to the border with the Kurds and threatening their own embargo. Iran has shut down all air travel. The entire area is set to ignite.

Something else that hasn't been reported: Is the small religious minority currently caught between the Iranian and Iraqi forces moving north and their Kurds holding their ground?

The region of Ninevah will be one of the biggest battlegrounds. This is important. A lot of the work that Mercury One has done freeing Christians, saving Christians, is in one of the oldest Christian lands in the world. And once again, the Christians living there are facing annihilation. They just came back home.

We are witnessing the birth of a new country and change on a massive scale. But change of this magnitude comes at a price. And as usual in this area, I fear the Christians may end up paying the highest price.
