No whey!

The three state solution  for Iraq is one of my favs too...damn Turkey...

We get along fine with greeks, we have Azarbajan, and plenty of other countries. Let's not forget that without a country like ours, a lot of operations in the Middle East by the U.S. and other countries would not have been possible.

I've said this before; the Kurds attacking Turkey to get land is like Mexico attacking the U.S. to get Texas back, only the Kurds never owned a part of Turkey anyway.

In many ways my country parallels the U.S.

Our dislike of the Kurds for the PKK is just like the general dislike of Middle Eastern people in the U.S. for Al-Queda.

We're retaliating against the PKK in soil that doesn't belong to them just like the U.S. did against Al-Queda.

Our people are all for it, yet the rest of the world hates us for it.

The rest of the word had general dislike for both countries anyway.

You guys need to understand that the differences between the countries are what make our moves justifiable.

The PKK terrorists are inside our country. If we don't retaliate, the country WILL remain in danger. It's not like here in the U.S., where we are generally safe from terroristic threats.

The PKK has constantly been killing our soldiers and our innocents. The U.S. invasion of Middle Eastern countries boosted the amounts of suicide bombings and other such terroristic actions in our country.

Turkish government officials know exactly what they're fighting and how to fight them. We're not going after the PKK on the basis of false WMD charges or any other such lies. If we are allowed to act without limits, civilian deaths and distruction of innocents' properties will be minimal if any at all. The shelling was a result of restraining the need to cross the border.

I'm saying all this to put everything in perspective. I'm supportive but with some mixed feelings about the move because of the crap that the U.S. invasion stirred up.


As for Kurdish people in general, they're good people. I've known a Kurd since I was 6 and know him today. Like I said, any hatred of Kurds is as unjustified as U.S. hatred against Middle Easterners.

Again, any jackass who wants to attack civillian targets deserves to die a slow painful death. As for military targets, I don't care if your political reasons are good or not, expect retaliation. I dont care if you're resisting a nazi occupation, if you try to kill people, they have every right to try to kill you right back.

If the Southwest states were to become totally flooded with people who were culturally Mexican and the majority of them felt that their differences with the rest of the country were irreconcilable, those states should be allowed to leave as long as they pay for it. I'd prefer financial compensation, but if they would rather pay in blood, fine. I dont know enough about the turk/kurd situation to have an opinion as to whether or not the kurdish minority in turkey is alienated enough to warrent their own state in turkey, especially when they have a de-facto state in iraq.

My problem with turkey is their apparent opposition to any kind of kurd state. Thats like saying mexico shouldnt exist because mexican here might want to be part of it.

That's because the Kurds are hell bent on taking a huge chunk out of Turkey to get their own state. They think that all of Turkey belongs to them. Allowing them a foothold anywhere outside of the country, though the right thing to do, will only make it easier for them to attack our land. Those attacks will never end.

You speak on behalf of every single Kurd?
