#1 Again, Turkey proves its self to be a hostile nation. Kick them out of NATO, rescind all faoverable economic and military treaties, kick their ambassador out, and recall ours for "consultation". Cut off ALL m,military assistance. Arm the hell out of the Kurds.

#2 It's not the government here, but the popular opinion, so it's instructive.
Erdogan's endgame is visible here; he'll deal with Syria or ISIS as needed. The Kurds, however, aren't going to be allowed to walk. Over somebody's dead body.

#3 I was trying to explain the whole Kurd thing to Mrs. Glenmore & she said 'Oh, they're like the Jews, only Muslim.' She' got a point.

#4 'Oh, they're like the Jews, only Muslim.'

Except for the ones who are Yazidi, Communist or Jewish, but basically Mrs. Glenmore is right. And anyway, most of the Jewish Kurds moved to Israel.

#5 Plenty of Kurdish Christians too. Turks want to repeat their genocide of the Armenians.
