Well, you can't blame all 1999 Kurds for what a few 1916 Kurds may have been compelled to do by their Turkish masters. Most Kurds living today were born after 1975, and don't even know of the events you reference. What they do know is that their yearning for freedom falls on deaf American (and Taiwanese) ears as they are seen as lacking strategic importance, their main export being camel-hair brushes used by a handful of European supermodels. In fact, it seems very wrong that the hills of Kurdistan are not filled with Taiwanese guerrillas helping their Kurdish brothers fight tyranny. After all, Taiwan is all too ready to launch us toward Armageddon on their behalf, but as others such as the Kurds plead to the world to help, the Taipei Morning Pokemon (or whatever the heck their newspaper is called) features nothing but sports scores and pictures of the Mayor at the opening of the latest Taipei McDonald's. Maybe it's time we reconsider who is actually "deserving" of our aid.

I agree, and have never said other wise. I have stated that Taiwan should be defended against an invasion from China. My main reason for this support is that it is important strategically to the freedom of America. Chalu, in his attempt to maintain his credibility(?), has interpreted my support for Taiwan as to mean that I support all freedom fighters everywhere, including the terrorists that Clinton wants to free from our jails, the Palestinians that he wants to turn Israel over to, the KLA who has some strange connection to Rubin of the State Dept., and so on and on.
