Turkey has a longer border with Iran and Syria then it does with Iraq. Yet, all we hear Turkey complain about is the 'terrible' Iraqi Kurds. Turkey should be assembling troops on its Iranian or Syrian borders. The entire western world would see the logic with that deployment.

The Kurds are horribly oppressed in both Syria and Iran. The PKK is unable to launch any of their terrorist operations against Turkey from either of these places. The safe haven created by the US in Northern Iraq, while a relief for civilian Kurds, also provides the PKK terrorists a safe haven to which they can retreat and from which they can plan and launch their terrorism.

If I was Turkey I would worry more about the Shiite Islamic Fascists Terrorists in Iran and the Islamic Fascists running Syria who are aligned with the Iranian Shiites. There are the ones causing the actual national conflicts over Lebanon. Why is not Turkey worried about Iran ? Why is not Turkey worried about Syria ? Seems to me that those two add up to much more potential trouble then the small budding nation of Kurdistan. Turkey could add constructive help in trying to stop the Israel and Iran conflict over Lebanon, instead they talk about invading Iraq. Where were they when we wanted to drive the 4th ID into northern Iraq a few years ago ?
