I am tired of dignifying lunatic diatribes with point by point refutation. I am tired of religious delusions substituting for critical analysis and being used as justification for policy. I am tired of nonsensical stuff better suited for comic books being proclaimed as deep insight. I work in a psych ward for a living. I am just too tired of dealing with nut cases, so I keep my comments short these days.

That in fact was done covertly. We acted within our rights under the treaty signed at Cyprus' inception.

Sure, sure. Just like you acted within your rights when your torched Smyrna and carried out pogroms against the Greeks in Constantinople.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's blueprint for a loose federation with wide autonomy for the two communities

Why would the Greeks oppose this plan? It seems like it would be the ideal solution for both parties.

All of these "The Turks Are Monsters" posts can be reduced to a single graphic:

It would really save y'all a lot of trouble typing.

And thanks to Army Men Home Page for the great WWI propaganda poster!

>>It is Britain and the US that have fed fundamentalist Islam for all these years

And hence the hearbreaking irony and tragedy of the current situation visavis the Saudis and the results of the deathcults they have financed all around the world.

How will the EU do that (reward Turkey)? Greece and by May 1st Cyprus will have veto power. The EU operates by unanimous voting policy. Hey Turks - never trust the Germans and Frence - they tell you one thing and do another.

The Greek Cypriots have to accept reality- Turkish Cypriots aren't going anywhere and Cyprus isn't going to be a normal country until this issue is resolved. Any dreams of kicking out the Turkish Cypriots are a pure fantasy. Seems like this plan would have worked perfectly.

The idea that one can be a Muslim and be in a fight to the death with Islamism is entirely too complex a concept for most here.

Maybe that's because we're still waiting for a "moderate" Muhammedan leader to condemn the 9/11 terrorist acts.

The acts of terror have been denounced by any variety of Muslim clergy and scholars. Those who have ears shall hear. Oh, yes of course a brain is also required to process the sounds.

Fool? Who is the fool? He who rhinks the EU will reward - when the EU can't reward without a yes vote from Greece and now Cyprus. OOps. The Germans forgot to fill you in on that technicality, affendi.

Hey, I listed the article is all. This is turning out to be a very well played game. Give it some more time. Even the southern cypriot authority is talking about "rewarding" the north. Bunch of faceless pathetic losers.

Go look up the London Agreement.

I missed where it said Turkey can invade Cyprus. Did I read it too quick?

I read: "They likewise undertake to prohibit, as far as lies within their power, all activity having the object of promoting directly or indirectly either the union of the Republic of Cyprus with any other State, or the partition of the Island." However, I don't think that international law recognizes a right for states to unilaterally invade another state.

I also missed the line where it says these agreements can never be modified by the people of Cyprus.

The agreements are, of course, a piece of typical British opression in her "Balance of Power" schemes to run the world which have already caused such misery. See in re. this point, "Danzig", "Fiume", "Memel", "Belgium", "Polish Corridor", "Parition of Palestine", "South Tyrol", "Silesia", "Sudentenland", "Yalta Agreement", etc.
