I'll fight Turks with a hoe, says farmer March 16 2003 By Ashley Gilbertson Northern Iraq Jule Amin has lived on Iraq's northernmost border with Turkey for 56 years, and he has no doubt which of the two country's armies would be the lesser of two evils. "If the Turkish military enter (northern Iraq), I prefer Saddam's regime than Turkish intervention. The Turkish military is even more hostile than Saddam Hussein." Mr Amin is an Iraqi Kurd, and like many in the region he fears the Turkish military may exploit the likely US war to crush the Kurds in northern Iraq. His muddy plot of land houses sheep, chickens and his family of three. In his 56 years here, he's experienced two conventional wars, one ongoing civil war, become an amputee due to a landmine injury whilst shepherding, and was the victim of a 1991 exodus in which more than a million Iraqi Kurds fled a defeated uprising into Turkey. He talks wildly of his time in Turkish refugee camps. "The Turks hate the Kurdish people, throughout history they have fought against and killed us, in those camps they treated us worse than animals." Today, his animosity is even plainer when asked about Turkish plans to invade northern Iraq, disarm the Kurdish Peshmerga (Kurdish for "one who faces death") and occupy Kirkuk and Mosul - two cities with 60 per cent of Iraq's oil wells. Elderly and missing one leg, Jule Amin says he will take up arms, be it with a knife or a hoe, if he sees Turkish troops crossing the bridge into Iraq, only 100 metres from his home. "If my President gives the order I will fight, I don't have a gun but I will still manage to fight." His view is shared by many Iraqi Kurds, of whom more than 1 million marched against Turkish "occupation" and in support of US "liberation" in protests around this Turkish enclave last week. In response to Turkish plans filtering out of Ankara, unveiled threats from Iraqi Kurdish administration have been thrown back across the border. Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdish Democratic Party, said recently he would oppose military intervention into Iraqi Kurdistan by any neighbouring or regional country: "... if the Turks come in here to disarm us, they will have to take our guns from the hands of our dead bodies," he said. Only days after Mr Barzani's statement, the Turkish military, which claims to be preparing for an influx of refugees in case of a US-led attack on Iraq, sent hundreds of military trucks and supply vehicles to the Iraqi border. The United States has warned Turkey not to send its own army into Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, saying that such an incursion could lead to "a war within a war". theage.com.au

Actually it is quite contrary to the judeofascist zionist viewpoint where its golden age is the present and where the only alliances is whatever that's convenient and sef-serving for the present. To achieve global democracy of American image requires global responsibility through dignity and respect, not through fear and bullying. They learn from American actions and this aggressive war policy is teaching them the wrong ways. However this aggressive frothy snorting war psychosis and utter disregard of diplomacy and alienation old reliable alliances, compounded by double triple standards and total disrespect of world community fits exactly in judeofascist zionists' way life and political philosophy. Global leadership that requires acceptance of harmonious multi-cultural coexistence is never a strong point for the judeofascist zionists. In fact there is strong undertone of "racism" and anti multi-cultural acceptance. That is the undercurrents of the struggle and the problem of the last 50 some years. Here are several links compliment to Gus Jaeger. "Nixing the ethnics - When he talks about his life and the life of the non-Jewish Russian community in Israel, he uses terms that Jews use when talking about life in the Diaspora. He is worried about assimilation and a life here that could erode the heritage and culture that the exiles have brought with them. He also feels hostility and suspicion from his Jewish surroundings when someone notices the cross he wears around his neck."

Len, how come Israeli authorities have not clued those freak settlers in on Israel's chief sponsor, the US?? Israeli fanatics should be told that their whole Zionist trip relies exclusively on the goodwill of GENTILE America... their topnotch military gear is paid for with GENTILE US dollars... and their most fervent supporters in America are holy rollers and Jesus freaks from the Cracker Belt --not Manhattan liberals...."
