This unrest will easily be resolved if Turkey returns the territories they are currently occupying back to the Kurds, giving them independence. North Kurdistan does not belong to Turkey. Turkey should also return Constantinople, occupied portions of Cyprus, and occupied portions of west Armenia.

Yes, and the USA should cede sovereignty back to the United Kingdom.

I side with the Kurds, but politics being what they are, we may have to enforce a DMZ between the two.

GASP!

Do not confuse PKK with everyday Kurds. PKK is a terrorist organization plain and simple.

Any group that can cause trouble for Irans mullahs I’m behind. I’d rather have marxist bastards running Iran than Islamic nutjobs bent on subjecting the world to sharia law.

We know how to deal with Marxists. And as deluded as they are, they are downright level-headed compared to islamist fanatics.

As for the Turks, they deserve a sharp stick in the eye for stabbing us in the back. I’m not as supportive of the PKK in Turkey, but I don’t think the Turks should be given permission to come into Iraq. They created their own problems with their Kurdish population.

As for the PKK, I am well aware of what they are. I need no education on them.

Right now the Kurds are the only real friends we have in that region. Something we shouldn’t flush away without thinking it through.

Turkey should also return Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople.

I hear you, Old Sarge.

My understanding was that they did it in expectation of French promises to help them join the EU, then, once the Turks knifed us in the back, the French told the Turks to eff off. Not sure if all this is true or not.

"The United States also sees Turkey as a crucial ally"

That was before the invasion, refusing the US a northern front. It was our help that Turkey secured billions in aid.
