Hi Hawkmoon; If I were running Turkey, I'd cut the Kurd regions off and force them to secede from Turkey. Turkey would be stronger, they'd have good relations with the Kurdistan they created, and the Kurd problems would be fully exported to Iraq and Iran. People talk about how the strength of the US is from its "diversity", but this is just another one of those silly "war is peace" kind of comments. The truth is that the strength of the US is in its unity, and that unity is accomplished despite its diversity. The US culture is so attractive that people come here despite near certain knowledge that their mother tongue will die out no later than their grandchildren. That means that the sweet things their own mothers whispered to them, as babies, will not be repeated by their children's children. The death of a culture is a difficult and emotional thing, and the strength of the US culture is that it is so strong that it can overcome that emotional barrier. -- Carl
