They blame you for supporting Turkish incursion, because that will make them look like a bag of s... They don´t want another parameter in their selfish equation of Iraq. They see Turkmens as a threat. Of course they will blame you cause they have ambitions of dividing Iraq into non-turkish or better said turkish-free territories. So beware! As soon as (maybe in 20 years) the Iraqi situation has been settled they will start a systematic ethnic cleansing against you. Smarten up!!!!

In the political arena there is no wrong and right, there is only MIGHT which defines wrong and right. If the Japanese or Germans had of won the second world war how do you think the map of the world would be today ?
All those nations that supposedly espouse to the fundamental tenets of a liberal democracy are only fooling themselves. What they truly espouse to is George Orwell's comment from his book the "Animal Farm" and that is "Everybody is Equal it's only that some are MORE equal than others". i.e the US can use the defence of SELF DEFENCE at International Law to invade any nation on earth ala Iraq, etc etc, (but note they are predominately strategic or oil rich nations not places like Kosovo, Darfur, Cambodia etc) but when another nation has problems with terrorists such as Israel or Turkey and they want to pursue the Terrorists the US is the first to state "YOU MUST SHOW RESTRAINT". Well I say what's good for the goose must be good for the gander. If it's good enough for the US to conduct it's war on terror on foreign soil then it is the RIGHT of all nations to conduct their own war on terror on foreign soil. I applaud the Israeli's for their Operation "The Wrath of God" which tracked down and killed almost all of the terrorists involved in the 1976 Munich Olympics massacres. It's time for Turkey to grow some balls now and do the same as the US and Israel.

Dear Devlet,
We believe Iraqi Turkmen,
Did you read last news ? Would you please send this news Arabs and Kurds ?
ANKARA, Turkey - Separatist Kurdish rebels attacked a military unit near Turkey's border with Iraq and Iran on Sunday, killing nine Turkish soldiers, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported.
The attack came four days after Turkey's Parliament passed a motion allowing its military to launch an offensive into neighboring northern Iraq to stamp out the rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, hiding there.
The rebels attacked the military unit, based near the Turkish town of Yuksekova, in Hakkari province, with heavy machinery, Anatolia said. Several soldiers were also injured in the violence.
Turkey has been pressing the United States and the Iraqi government to crack down on the rebels who launch attacks in Turkey from bases in the north of Iraq. The U.S. and Iraq oppose any unilateral action by Turkey, fearing it could destabilize northern Iraq, the most stable part of the country.
Patience has been wearing thin in Turkey and the latest attack is likely to increase calls for the military to stage an incursion.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey expected the United States to take action against the PKK but would take its own measures if it saw no results in the fight.

For 6 years now, every day we have to listen to combatting worldwide terrorism, combatting worldwide terrorism and again combatting worldwide terrorism! Our lives changed because of it and we have to pay the price every day! Now that some PKK terrorists attack Turks, all of a sudden a difference is being made! Are they not terrorists? I am outraged to see that noone is helping Turkey now and that they have to fight by themselves and are being criticized for it! What sick world are we living in?
