More legitimate? Is Abdullah Ocalan now Nelson Mandela? Are PKK terrorists in Iraq justified in crosing the border to kill Turkish soldiers, civilians and tourists? How is Turkey oppressing and occupying Iraqi Kurds? How are the European tourists PKK has bombed oppressing anybody?

Historically, Turkey hasn’t treated its own Kurdish minority well, although they’ve made recent improvements. But does that mean Turkey has no right to defend itself from Marxist terrorists coming from Iraq and killing its citizens?
