Actually, 8 Turkish soldiers were kidnaped by the US , not PKK. the main aim was PKK Propaganda that the US has tried to establish Kurdish state in there or the US has wanted to stop close relation between Turkey and Iran that both countries have common enemy for pajak and pkk. or there is big barganing among the US , Turkey and Iran for all terrorism. so, today, the US has begun to bomb al qaida terrorist.
what do you think?

There are many conspiracy theories in relation to the region. Let us shortly look at some of them.
1- The US wants a puppet Kurdish State in order to exploit northern Iraqi petrol. So they support the Iraqi Kurds and PKK. As long as PKK keeps Turkey busy, Turkey cannot spend billions of dollars to improve its economy, education and health services.
2- If Turkey falls into the trap of chasing PKK terrorists in Iraq, Iraqi Kurds will get involved and it will turn into a Turkish-Kurdish war. This will ignite nationalism amont Kurds in Turkey and there will be civil war (which some hope will breakup Turkey's geography).
3- USA is not very happy with the recent behavior of Turkey. Turkey is not fully supporting US invasion of Iraq. Turkey is having good relations with its neighbors Iran and Syria. USA is afraid that its greatest ally is slipping out of hand. Therefore, anything that will prevent Turkey's move towards a more independent foreign policy can be expected from the US.
4- Turkey is a fast developing country in every aspect. With this rate of development, it will soon become a major power in the region (economically, culturally, militarily etc.) and EU will open the gate for full membership. Moreover, Turkey is becoming a good neighbor and ally to the regional countries. Some of these neighbors may follow Turkey's footsteps instead of relating their interests with the US.
A second and more independent 'Israel' in the region is not something that would make the US happy. Therefore, anything that will slow down Turkey's devopment and create instability is welcomed and supported by the US. Hence the high-tech weapons of PKK terrorists. Hence, the Armenian claims concerning a non-existent genocide.

That's interesting but too complicated for me to follow. Hasn't the PKK kidnapped Turkish soldiers before? I think the Bush administration has maintained a hands-off policy toward the PKK in order to keep the rest of the Iraqi Kurds happy. The "semi-autonomous" Kurdish provinces of Iraq are ripe for oil exploration and exploitation by Bush friends and relatives.

That's a conspiracy theory all right. The US would have nothing to gain by turning the Turks on the Kurds and having them invade - really can't see how that would help the Cheney-Bush cause.
But with those two, ya never know.
