By Neil Stevens
Apparently some Turks have been having fun balkanizing the USA. I don't read Turkish, but I'm assuming some of this is in reaction to various proposals to draw a new Kurdistan out of Turkey and Iraq.
Of course, the rest is just your typical hate coming out: they hate that we went into Afghanistan, into Iraq, and apparently some of them want to kick the Israelis out of Israel and into North America. Lovely.
Of course, I'm certainly not going to judge the mindset of whole country in the totality based on this, without other information. Imagine if people judged America based on Daily Kos. One website is not necessarily representative of anything meaningful. But still, it's something to think about.

By Neil Stevens
The Turks are continuing their anti-terror operations in Iraq despite now official demands from the Iraqi government that they stop.
I still see no reason why I shouldn't be entirely with Turkey on this. This is the Bush Doctrine in practice. If the Iraqi kurds are going to house terrorists, then they have to deal with it when others come in to root out the terrorists.

By Jeff Emanuel
Is ours legitimate, and theirs not?
The latest skirmish between the Turkish military and the PKK, a Kurdish organization recognized by the US, among others, as a terrorist outfit, saw Turkey hammering a group of about 50 fighters in northern Iraq with artillery and airstrikes yesterday. According to the AFP:
The Turkish army said it inflicted "heavy losses" on a group of around 50 members of the armed Kurdish separatist movement PKK in northern Iraq on Saturday.The army said it used artillery and airstrikes against a group of "50 to 60 terrorists" southeast of the Turkish town of Cukurca in Hakkari province on the Turkey-Iraq border.
"If necessary other army units will intervene in the region," it added.
Jabbar Yawar, the head of peshmerga forces in northern Iraq (Kurdistan), said without elaborating that Turkish aircraft were "trespassing northern Iraqi airspace since a week."
