How is telling Turkey not to invade Iraqi territory an indication of support for a Kurdish terror group?
Relevant question. The PKK has been making incursions into SE Turkey (as well as other parts of that country) from Iraq, Iran, and Syria for decades now. They go in, do their business, and then retreat across the border.
Please don't get me wrong...I am not saying that I don't support an equitable homeland for the Kurds. Under the Ottomans, all of "Kurdistan" was within one territory of that empire. Not that they had the best life (they didn't), but they were at least one "nation."
Since Ottoman Turkey was carved up in the wake of WWI, the homeland for the Kurds was carved up along with it. This is not the only occasion where this kind of foolishness happened...the arbitrary drawing of lines on a map has been the cause of a lot of unnecessary bloodshed in many parts of the world.
But the point I'm getting at is that either the northern border of Iraq should be sealed off so that the PKK terrorists can't cross the border (or get back once they have crossed) or some type of coordination process to allow "hot pursuit" should be created. It's not so much of a pro-Turkey stance...but an anti-terror stance (should Israel be allowed to have hot pursuit against Hezbollah when they cross into Lebanon? Should we be allowed hot pursuit against Al Qaeda when they cross into Pakistan?)
