It would help very much to have a muslim nation onside, and triple points for a democratic muslim nation ... there's much more to this case though .... i wonder how much iraqis remember and resent the rule of the turks, it was only eight decades ago
On the face of it it's hard to see why kurds shouldn't have the right to self-determination ..... boundary concerns with newly arrived sunnis around the northern oilfields, yes, but that could be worked out ... largest opposition is the turks, who wish to continue their rule of northern Kurdistan ..... the turks used kurdish troops among others in genocide against the armenians, it is said .... something like the Balkans this area, the brits found it ungovernable
Karen, often when i hear the pacifists speak on Iraq i think to myself, yes but somebody has to do something, you cannot permit the Husseins free rein in the modern age ..... it is only on viewing a few posts by the war-now folk, hearing the tone of it, the single-nation flag waving fervour, and reflecting on the way things are being approached here, the dictatorial attitude and all, that i snap back to the priority, that the Dubyas cannot be permitted free rein either ..... so just because i know you'll like this, and for fun, not because it expresses my full opinion or anything, here's a slogan for your sign in the march -
.
Why should the french appease Dubya?

... just make sure you march on the safe side of the Atlantic -g- |
