The Iraqi people don't "deserve" anything. Gassing the Kurds doesn't merit a break-up of the country of Iraq. It's like hanging a shoplifter.

Absent is your criticism of Turkey for human rights violations much worse than Saddam's. Why?

What do you mean, Why? Because Turkey's on our side, part of Nato. Isn't that obvious! You don't hurt your friends, you hurt your enemies. Iraq is our enemy and a scourge on the face of the earth.

Turkey hasn't used chemical warfare against its own people, those Kurds you mention. Kurdish separatists are waging a revolution in whatever country they're in. Everyone's fighting them, and in the midst of fighting bad things happen. But you don't gas your own people; you don't use chemical weapons against them.

Set up Kurdistan in former Iraqi territory. Use tanks, planes, and cruise missiles to keep the Husseinites at bay until you've fully armed the Kurds. Then let them have at each other with us on the side of Turkey, Kurdistan, Jordan, and Israel.

Make Saddam wish he never knew how to spell "Kurd."
