The United State State Department classifies the PKK as a foreign terrorist organization. I know for a fact that US agents in Northern Iraq are actively attempting to discourage Kurds there from supporting PKK activities. I am not sure you realize just how sympathetic American military and intelligence is to Turkey - especially the Turkish military. This is a long-running friendship and I know for a fact Turkey is one country whose military is respected very much in American military and intelligence circles.
Europe is another matter. And I agree with you on many of those issues.
>>The West is a pretty big place <g> It probably depends on which news source. Reuters news service, for example, has banned the word "Terrorist" for anybody.

>I'm not talking about news services. this is trivia. I'm talking about governments, folks... PKK can open legal offices on Europe countries. Europe countries don't do anything even killer terrorists (sample Fehriye Erdal)...

>European countries and Australia memorates 4.000 killed 9/11 people every year, but I can't remember anything from west about our killed 30.000 civillian people (a big portion of baybies).

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
