How Turkey should label a terror group which killed more than 70.000 people since 1990.
Furthermore, giving up your land means you are giving up your sovereignty. Thus, every states could take military action to save their sovereignty.

Answer 1

To protect its security and composure, Turkey should make millitary intervention to N.Iraq. Even, the USA can enter Iraq by coming from miles and miles away, of course Turkey has the right to go there in order to protect the borders.

Answer 2

No, Turkey should not intervene militarily in Northern Iraq.
The Kurds for centuries have wanted nothing more than a land of their own just like the Palestinians and I know their is animosity between the Turks and Kurds as there were with the Armenians. Allowing Turkey to intervene in Iraq against the Kurds will become nothing more than an ethnic war and bloodletting....isn't their enough of that today?

Answer 3

None of our business.

The Kurds have had a raw deal for a very long time. Not that it means anything in this case, just a fact.

We're not the world police. Should we intervene in the Netherlands? Or Sweden? Or China? The list goes on and on.

I also don't believe that our military should be "spreading democracy", or "nation building". One could argue that we are a stabilizing prescence, look at Germany, Japan, we've been there since WW2.

Answer 4

This replaced right into a commonly used risk as quickly as we entered Iraq. actual i've got been shocked by using how long Turkey waited. i'm useful that the U. S. protection stress has been appraised of all plans by using our long term NATO best chum. The respected US place is that there will be no Kurdistan. With that place, we won't be able to help guerrilla strikes into Turkey. in my view, it style of feels that Kurdistan ought to be a united states yet Turkey won't enable part of it to be carved up and we won't be able to do different than help our best chum.

Answer 5

America should clean up one mess at a time, everytime we go in somewhere to "help" any of these pschyco countries all the end up doing is wanting us dead. We should come home and regroup for a while and let these guys sort out there own problems because are troops arent worth helping these crap countries.

Answer 6

Kurdish Terrorist, some of those groups have been on our terrorist list since the 1980s, Some are Communist others are al Quieda. Some twisted individuals in the Bush Administration see them as Allies.

Answer 7

I believe that we should not interfere with Turkey. If they ask for our help, then we should give it.

Of course the Kurds are the closest thing to an ally that we have in Iraq, so if we stand by while Turkey spanks them, then everyone in Iraq will hate us. It will be a lose - lose situation for the US.

Answer 8

No Turkey wont intervene into Nrthern Iraq till General Elections .. The new government will decide about this subject.. and US is not ally of Turkey ...If you ar eally of any country , you have to be equal. US may be elder brother honestly...

Answer 9

I heard that the PKK has been unfairly labeled by the Turkish government.

Answer 10

Sure, let's make it a menage a trois....Or better yet, a pool party! Come on in boys, the waters fine, the more the merrier!
