[No quicker way to lose an empire]

The U.S.A. is a Republic, not an empire.

[The Kurdish administration in the north of Iraq harbors the terrorist organization PKK]

If the PKK didn't exist, I suspect the Turks would find some other reason for objecting to Kurdish autonomy.

[and as such will not be allowed to lead any new state.]

Appears the Kurds already are leading a new state. While the rest of Iraq is in or near civil war, the Kurds are building a democracy.

Seems to me that a strong and stable northern Iraq, aka Kurdistan, would be in Turkey’s best interest. Just as an economicaly stable Mexico would be in the U.S.A’s best interest.

What are the Turks doing to facilitate prosperity and stability in Iraq?

At her core she is a republic which my Mason brothers crafted and fought tooth and nail to stand up. Her strong yet beautiful constitution also crafted by the same lends her the strength necessary to project her might accross the globe to conduct an awesome economic empire.

We buy their exports and provide them their imports. We build their schools, airports, roads and hospitals.

I tire of your conversation.
