Turkey insists on invading northern Iraq
Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul says Turkey will invade northern Iraq to stop an influx of refugees and to prevent what he calls “terrorist activities.” The latter is Turkish for anything a Kurd does. The US has opposed the move.
The Kurds have proven themselves to be friends of the US in this conflict. Turkey has not. Why shouldn’t the US tell Turkey to go stuff it? It’s amazing what nations have been forced to keep up with from Turkey, a country that has been guilty of more genocides than any other nation in history, just because they have a lucky strategic location. Now they want to join the west, and join EU, and it’s time to make them crawl a bit and start behaving like a civilised nation.
