Basically, there is no money in Kurds.

Actually the anger is against some western governments not against west or western people.\nThere are many causes like west's double strandard on human rights and demoracy. For example Hamas won the elections but some governments are not accepting them.\nIsrael is free to do anything but West tell us to stop crying about injustices.\nIf you consider, the major war zones are in muslim world.Phalestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Afganistan,Kosovo, Bosnia.Thousands of muslim died but there was no solid action by West or UN.Why UN can resolve East Timor but not Kashmir.Ask that?

The west and U.s. definitely have their own agenda and It has nothing at all to do with democracy It is to set up puppet regimes that promote the political interests of the West and allows them to extort massive amounts of money from these countries

Its the same race...there are Kurds in Turkey also...but their nationality is different so they speak the same language and have the same traditions ... They have been trying to separate from both and make their own country for many many years now but it never happened

the majority in Iraq , and iran are shite   but not in Turkey  as they are sonita  and strict ones(the religious)  u Can always know from the art they have,, as the Irani art and also the Iraqi in the past can have images of humans or animals(what God created)(allowed by shite)is in the turkish art (only geomatric forms)(that is what is allowed by strict sonita)  anyway the Kurds are sonite but they are not Arab (like the Iraqi) nor Turk (like the turkish)  so the problem is based on Race not religion...

I believe it is all about jealousy. I mean, look how much the west has as compared to the Arab States. If it were not for their oil, those countries would not have much more to offer. However, like the guy above said, trap a rat in the corner and it will defend itself. However,the rat is going up against the king of the jungle, a den of lions. It does not take much to see that they too strive to have power. But they wouldnt know how to control their power so thats the reason they cannot have nuclear arms. As far as Russia, they are in it for the money...what else. For the same reason they did not authorize the US invading Iraq, they were purchasing lot of oil from Iraq and selling it to the US. Its all politics but for Iran, they are out of their league.

Yes.  The UN is ineffective.  Look at Darfur.  They have done nothing to stop the genocide.  And the libs wanted nothing to be done in Iraq either.  I guess gassing the Kurds and torturing innocents is nothing to be concerned about

we just forgot all about it... there was no conflict 100 years ago.. it is all about the lost rights of Palastinian ppl in havin thier own land and the lost right of all muslims to get thier Aksa Mousqe in Jersualem back.. and the west is protecting Israel with all means.. in order to not give the muslims thier rights... i condem any terrorist attack on any country... but we should ask our selves why these ppl are doing so.. i think it is thier dispair in getting our rights... it is not the well to kill.. or that islam tell us to kill.. we have to be objective and not shallow when we think about it.. the medie story telling is so so so misleading about the truth of the whole coflict.. if we can solve the Plastanian Islreali conflect then i thnk no confict will find place.... but the problem that they want to force ppl to accept what is on the real site... regarding the rights of muslims.. then the conflict happen..... you can tolerate in your personal right.. but you can not in your reliogous rights... and if you ask muslims to do so... then why dont Jews do it..

Because people just either do not care/or don't hear about it.\nEverybody hears about Iraq whilst lots is also happening in the world.\nWho cared much about Rwanda's genocides ??? There was no oil in there...it was not affecting the economy of the West....I know I am cynical - not me : speaking for what I perceive.

"Kurds" are a group of people who living in "Iran", "Iraq" and "Turkey". They are part of these countries population.\n\n"Kurds" speak one of two dialects of "Kurdish", a West Iranian language related to Modern "Persian". Traditionally nomadic, most were forced into farming by the redrawing of state borders after World War I (1914–18).\n\nAlso, "Kurdish" nationalist party.\nIt was founded in Turkish Kurdistan in 1978 and sought to establish an independent Kurdish state in southeastern Turkey. It attacked Turkish interests and fellow Kurds suspected of collaboration with the Turkish government, often from bases in Iraq and Syria. The group's leader, Abdullah Öcalan, was arrested by Turkey in 1999 and was thereafter tried and convicted of treason. At its peak, it claimed 5,000–10,000 members.

There are countries with great military might who do not hold the same values as the western democracies.\nAs global resources dwindle, the race is on!\nWe will always use diplomacy first of course. we have a duty to defend ourselves against those who would wage war upon us.\nthe overwhelming american nuclear threat can be thanked for protecting europe from soviet dominence during the cold war.\n\ntheodore roosevelt: speak softly and carry a big stick

I think that northern Iraq (which is mostly Kurdish) is much more peaceful and prosperous than the rest of the country. They must be doing something right.

It sure is.  Europe's states all are facing problems with the muslems so Turkey does need help to resolve things.  Muslems are causing problems all over the world.  I know most muslems are fine people Most people are every place.  It is time for the good muslems to get together and clean up their own problems.

No. But my best friend is a Kurdish Iraqi, and she spent 4 months there last year. She had her ups and downs. But what speaks volumes is that she saw her family's oil being taken by US officials with her own two eyes. (she comes from a wealthy family and they have lots of that). She was also staying in a mansion made of marble but there wasn't even any water to flush the toilets with. Pretty depressing.

First of all,they DON'T want to be occupied by anybody. \n Second, you have three different cultures still trying to be the ones in control of everything.\n The Sunnis want Saddam back in power.\n The Kurds in Iraq want to unite with the Kurds in Turkey to make their own state. Do you really believe that Iraq and Turkey are going to surrender land for this? Hold your breath on that one.\n And last but not least,you have the Shiites who don't trust fellow Iraqis much less  foreigners.\n These people were used to having some a**hole standing on a balcony telling them how great they are and how they need to wipe out the Jews and American interlopers who just want their oil.\nIt's going to take another generation before you see significant change in the region.The general population got a taste of Democracy when they voted in the last election,and they seemed to enjoy having a say in their government depspite threats from indurgents.

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

Nope. Turkey is an ally of America. There are American bases in Turkey and this airports are used to fly troops from Iraq to Germany. Turkey keeps watch over their boarder with Iraq. The only sore point and thing that could cause a war between the two are the Kurds. Currently many Kurds in Turkey want to form their own country. The Kurds in Iraq are also allies with the US and share a common boarder with the Kurds in Turkey. If they were to jon up Turkey may make war with the Turkish Kurds causing the Iraq Kurds to fight back, the US might then join in the war.
