Gustave > The US secret, cynical agenda is to turn Kurdistan into another Kosovo Britain ensured that would happen when she cut up Kurdistan after WW1 and incorporated the fragments into the surrounding nations -- Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Also Armenia. There was some reason, and I don't know what it was, why Britain decided to smash Kurdistan in they way it did. That's why I don't believe it will be it the self-interest of the West, even today, to attempt to join the bits together again. Of course, it is in Israel's interest to try because, as we know already, Israel's dream is to see the end of Islam and anything that facilitates that, even WW3 and WW4, has to be good. Anyway, as things stand now, the more Israel (and the US, covertly) interferes with and agitates the Kurds the more Turkey & Co get upset with both. There's no doubt that every day that passes Israel is dragging the US deeper and deeper into the crap. antiwar.com >>This latest development underscores the upside-down "logic" of our Iraqi adventure, which seems to be taking place in some sort of Bizarro World alternate universe, where everything is turned into its opposite. The war in Iraq, as Professor Paul W. Schroeder pointed out in a footnote (not online) to a piece in The American Conservative, "Would represent something to my knowledge unique in history. It is common for great powers to try to fight wars by proxy, getting smaller powers to fight for their interests. This would be the first instance I know where a great power (in fact, a superpower) would do the fighting as the proxy of a small client state." As Israeli agents flood Kurdistan with arms and ill intent, Professor Schroeder's thesis acquires another surprising element: it would be the first instance that I know of where a superpower, after fighting a proxy war on behalf of a pipsqueak client, is kicked directly in the teeth by its ingrate of an "ally."<< And this is the basis of an enduring "marriage"?! I don't believe it.
