yes, the game, which seems to have impressed you so substantially, is known as playing one person (or entity) against the other, to get one's own way; devoid of team-spirit or loftier goals that exceed complete self-service. Their concern and compassion for the victims of that TYRANT's viciousness is UNDERwhelming. I would suggest that President Bush's 'ratings' have risen in support of the intervening in Iraq because AMERICANS DO CARE about the Iraqi people. We don't care if they're Kurds or not Kurds. We have a real 'issue' ignoring the Stalins of the world. Turkey is 'a turkey'.

Well said. So ironic that we care more for the oppressed Iraqis than other Muslims seem to.

I'm afraid your comments reflect the naive nature of the American public. We need Turkey, they need us. If you honestly think we will have a secure Iraq without 6 divisions from Turkey assisting us, you've obviously never been to Iraq or Turkey. The north is rugged country and the Turks will have their hands full keeping another dictatorship out of that region; Iran. Turkey is no 'turkey' as you say. They are watching out for their own nation because in GWI, George Sr. then Klintoon betrayed them and left them with a large bill that almost bankrupted the nation. And of course the EU was no help either. There is more than one "TYRANT" over there so until you see the big picture, save your insults for one of our other "allies"; you know, france and germany.

>> AMERICANS DO CARE about the Iraqi people

Yes, and so do the Turkish people care.

I think you are unable to see the whole picture.

Is our war (Turkish and US) against terror limited to Irak? How long should the US remain in a country after it cleanses it of terrorist supporters? How is the US perceived in these countries, where the population has been brainwashed with anti-US peopaganda for decades, and how does that perception promise to affect the US?

This is our border, that is why we absolutely must work together. Perceptions in these rogue countries will not change overnight, and we must work with this reality in mind. Any entity to actually help you in that area would be more productive if it were not perceived as your cronie.

Finally, your reference to my country, an ally of 50 years who has supported your country and your interests in countless ways, as a turkey really hurts. It shows me that you as an individual are as brainwashed as the anti-American public in those rogue states we're about to secure. Please remember: united we stand, divided we fall..
