Here is a link to the article about Turkey's War on the Kurds:

>>I suppose it could also be mentioned that the US is trying to buy Turkish support by giving several billion dollars to a government that is actively suppressing it's own Kurdish population, one of the groups of people that the US is using as a pretext for defending in Iraq.

>>As it was mentioned in another thread, it is only since Sept 11th that the US has made funding of the IRA illegal. It doesn't take to much investigating to unearth the US's support of terrorism in the past & I have no doubt that your government will continue to support terrorism where it suits it's own ends - they might try to call it something different (funding freedom fighters, maybe) - but at the end of the day, it's all the same. (The UK government will be just as bad, I don't want you to think I'm singling out the US)
