#1 These Kurds have some nerve trying to prosper. What!!!! they have electricity, piped water and a free media. What next, education for all children. Turks won't be satisfied until the Kurds are sent back to the 9th century.

#2 Dear Turkeys:
(Sorry, Murat, don't mean any personal insult, I'm referring to your government.)
Your standing to complain about anything the Kurds do south of the dotted line marking the Turkey-Iraq border expired when you voted not to let the 4th ID use Turkey as a staging area. Actions have consequences, you know.
Love,
Uncle Sam
P.S. -- About that aid package . . . maybe Mr. Chiraq can help you out. After all, you scratched his back, so he's obligated to scratch yours.

#3 Dear Turkey,

We lost interest in your opinions when you decided to haggle for more money in order to allow us to remove the regional problem on your border. You've seen what the American military can do, don't push us into carving Kurdistan out of SouthEast Turkey.
