First off, history is history, Turkey has not done anything that even smacks of what you are talking about in over 100 years, I think that era is over.

You need to get over it.

Turkey BLEW it big time by not letting us send the 4th through their country, and they are going to suffer for it too.

Not because they are Muslim, not because they committed some atrocity 100 years ago, not because they are in Cyprus, but because they refused to allow us to go through their country to attack Iraq.

Emd of conversation, if it makes you happy to think that President Bush is petty enough to punish them for something that occurred in ancient history, well more power to you, but you should seek help.

Fact is, they screwed us, and for that they will be punished. That's a fact, and by sending a Special Ops unit into to Northern Iraq, that's pushing the limits of propriety BIG time.

They need to watch themselves VERY closely, because they could REALLY screw the pooch if they aren't careful.

They gave up ALL voice in what is happening in Iraq when they refused us entry, now they will have to live with the consequences.

Get over yourself Elenil, I like the Turks, but I can see that they have messed up BIG time, but I on the other hand do not have this overpowering hatred that you do towards the Turks. I feel more sorry for them then angry, but that could change if they do anything else that could cause a MAJOR crisis in Iraq.

You on the other hand have this overwhelming hatred that just cannot see the forest for the trees, which is too bad, because then you would realize how important strategically that Turkey is to us, although with Iraq with us now, that may be changing as well.

Yes, I am rather fond of the Turks, but it does not keep me from saying that they screwed the POOCH BIG time with their actions.
