I am curious as to the Kurds status when the end-game is played out. While I am certain they will support the downfall of Saddam, would they willingly submit to Turkish rule? I assume the Kurds are Islamists, since that is prevalent in the Middle East, but are they extremists?
Kurdish questions aside, I am delighted at the prospect of Turkey moving against Suddam. My impression of Turkey is that they have a democratic government, yet a government that would have little tolerance for tribal warfares within its community (the type of tribal warfare that continues to threaten the new government in Afghanistan).
>>I assume the Kurds are Islamists, since that is prevalent in the Middle East, but are they extremists?
Most Kurds are Muslim, yet not extremists. They wear colorful dress, don't cover up more than their folklore suggests, and are hard working and loyal to their families.
Every community has their extremists..
