They have their own autonomous region in Iraq. Not having their own nation doesn’t make it acceptable for Iraqi Kurdish terrorists to routinely sneak into Turkey to murder Turkish citizens.

As for the analogy with U.S. and Mexico - if organized terrorist groups from Mexico were routinely coming to America to bomb and murder American citizens with Mexico enabling them, I’d want the U.S. to do a lot more than sit around building a fence - I’d want them to go into Mexico and root out the terrorist groups and take care of them for good.

***I agree. Would it be acceptable if the Kurds cooperated in rounding up the PKK in exchange for regional autonomy in eastern Turkey? Turks win (got rid of PKK) and Kurds win (get their own country, less some communist terrorists).

***Interesting twist on what the current REAL situation is on the ground. To bring our two analogies together: Would the US give up a large portion of Texas and Mexico give up a large portion of northern mexico for a new TexMex country that is a democracy (with real tight border control!)? The new state of TexMex would have to cooperate in rounding up all AlQaeda & communist terrorist cells. I can say that as an American, the resistance is in giving up American soil to some illegal aliens who came across the border because of how good we built our country. But if it was all Legal citizens, a secession from the union would be kind of an interesting idea.
