When I was in Turkey in April, the people were telling me that the country's boundaries were still being determined.
Government, I was told, was in the process of laying claim to specific lands that they felt entitled to.

Be sure to ask Armenia about Turkey's sense of geographic and ethnic entitlement.

That's some dumb shit, right there.

The Kurds want a Kurdish nation. I'm sure the news coverage in Turkey paints the Kurds as terrorists.

They weren't terrorists when they helped the Americans the first time we invaded Iraq. Then we left and Saddam gassed them for it.

And they aren't terrorists just because Turkey doesn't want to give up part of its southern territory -- which would include oil fields and the headwaters to the Tigris and Euphrates.

TP, once again you've done it. A oddball post that makes little to no sense. Care to make a clarification?
