#1 I'm amazed that the independence movements of the world are so stupid. Turkey claims to be a democracy. Turkey wants into the EU. The Kurds should march on Ankara in large peaceful groups to make demands. Time it right, and make the marches big and rare and free of puppets. If the Turks crack down they can kiss the west goodbye. if the Turks do not the Kurds get world sympathy for their independnece in a way the PKK could never provide.

#2 Oh, and demand something short of full independence so the Turks can grant it without losing too much face or else they'll replay the Armenian game with the Kurds and althought that would really get the Kurds sympathy it wouldn't help the dead get a state.
