#2 dcreeper makes a good point. Also, since the Iraqi constitution got amended to dilute the sections that protected the Kurds, this may be a prelude to an all out trans-Kurdish nationalist movement. Basically, I'm in sympathy with the Kurds.

#4 Don't get exited Frank, Iâm not pissed off that easily. The fact is that whenever American intervention took place in Iraq, Gulfwar1 and now Gulfwar2 there was an upsurge in Kurdish terror over here. You guys donât fight terror, you guys create terror.
In the end this whole Iraq misery will end up like Gulfwar1 leaving a pile of mess behind where vermin and terrorists will thrive.

Seems to me those "vermin" are Turkish Kurds on YOUR soil.

#11 murat - blah blah blah...we did not cause them ..turkeys attempt at destroying a culture is the problem here...they are just getting some balls cause uncle sam is next door..could of been diff but turkey wanted to pound her chest...

about creating terror - yea like the kurds were not pissed off with turkey before gulf1 and 2 - they were good obiedient subjects but now they are killing turkish soldeirs and it's all Bush's fault...do not use current events to hide your own missdeeds... your such a dumbass..

actually kurdish part of iraq is not submerged in misery - they have actually created a decent place for thier people..and i am sure that pisses you off - especially since turkey can do jack about it! and the rest of iraq is own her way - as long as descent people there want a prosperous future no need to worry..

#12 My sympathy and support for Turkey is minimal. We went through a lot of grief to get turkey anti missile gear, and Turkey showed its gratitude by not allowing US military transit.

In the name of fighting terrorism, maybe we should train the Kurds to fight as an army?

#13 Oh y'all forget that Murat is a patriotic nationalist: As long as Saddam (a terrorist by deed, but not by label) stayed in his own borders and murdered his own people, then to Murat, that was a form of terrorism that didn't bother him one bit. An independent and capable Kurdistan IS the kind of entity that Murat would call terroristic, since it involves his precious Turkey so much, and would rightly blame Bush for it. In actuality, if Bush was "guilty" of creating a really free, sane, and capable Kurdistan, then he'd have a lock on my vote.

In the end, what disturbs Murat is that my vote weighs more in Bush's mind than his opinion (as it should). It is to talk us out of voting for a president who contributes, in some way, to opposing Turkey, is one reason why Murat's here.

What's so amazing is that Arabs aren't bothering to ask why we hate them, as much as they should ask themselves why we love the Kurds so much.
