The writer seems to make light of the death of the little boy. There's little real information about clashes between the Kurds and the Turkomens. Clearly, though, the Turkish military is presenting problems to Coalition forces in northern Iraq, if the article has the facts and quotes accurately. But, it being Time Magazine........

One would think it wise for the Turks to strengthen their alliance with the coalition forces, not antagonize them, what with Kurds claiming southeastern Turkey and Greeks claiming Ionia and an ever hostile Russia just to the north.

This story is crap. First of all, there's no need to smuggle arms into Irak, the place is awash with them. Second, the special forces are there having been invited by the US as observers..

Time was the only source for this "story."

Interesting thing Time did, was to drop Ataturk from the person of the century list even though he got more votes than Churchill.

Go figure..
