Iraq: Round Two

[LeftEyeNine]

Kurdistan gets no ****** territory from Turkey. Full stop. There are 13 millions of them living in Turkey, most of them living in the western part rather than where people claim the Kurds' homeland is.

I don't like them at all. They need to change their feudalist mindsets before asking for something. Even in their so-called independence struggle, PKK is coping with leadership problems. It's not been more than a week since one of the two leadership contenders' -Murat Karayılan- 5 men were poisoned to death by his rival. The event ended up with the killing of 4 men loyal to his rival who were working in the kitchen. When you have a "cause", you need to unite, not fight over who the leader is.

I never and ever believe Kurds deserve independence. There are always landlords among them, who only think about their very selfish benefits who seem to be serving Kurds' political causes. Even in a more liberal environment such as N. Iraq, they have two parties which still fail at agreeing at some terms. They are not united at all.

What's more, if you want freedom, you go for it. No one gives another freedom. We didn't get it that way and we'll not give it that way either. If you're up for a demand of something which belongs to another for the time being, you're up for a fight. And considering the 30.000 people including women and babies murdered by PKK (I can provide photos but they are graphic), it's more of a terrorist organization rather than people fighting for independence. And regarding the condition they are in, they have failed.

However, no one will forget those "lost American weapons" in N. Iraq. US will always be contacting PKK in some way, supporting or helping against them from time to time, always seeming to be "against terrorism". If PKK ends, XYZP will come out, just as PKK did when ASALA had died off (1983-1984). Territorial seperatist plots are being played in this area for nearly a century. Nothing new will happen as long as Turkey can be economically independent someday.

They have a political party in the Turkish parliament (DTP). But it seems this is their "fun". They can't stop acting like terrorists. Things didn't get better since they are in that parliament.
