Dear Mr. Friedman:
Dear Mr. Friedman:
I was wondering if the Turkish factor and the Kurdish factor was intentionally missing from your plausible scenario.
How could any solution to the problem be separated from making Turkey secure as far as an expected threat from future Kurdistan -which is almost ready to be official- and the future of Kerkuk, on the bases of Lozan treaty.
Present Turkish government put in place by Bush administration may be wiling to go along with they wishes, but the buck will eventually stop
when it comes to give away territories. And there will be war.
What then USA is going to do? Go to war with Turkey? A war that USA can not win under any condition, short of bombing and destroying all the cities of Turkey, as they have done in
Germany at WW1.
Good and peace lowing American people and even not so good EU will stand for it. And also, how about Russia and China? Will they go along with Turkey? Why not? Who can stop them?
Congress wasting its valuable time, and is not being able to see the forest from the trees. With out USA
facing up to its obligation to tell the Middle East countries:
The goal is no longer OIL,
But the security of the region,
And stop the bs of bringing democracy,
Tell Israel to make peace with it’s neighbors, and accept a viable Palestine, otherwise can not help anymore,
Turn the tide around and start mending the wounds. Which may just be too late after all.
Only then and only after lots of ifs, may be USA can start building bridges and stop being the cause of WW3.
Respectfully,
Turgut Karabekir AIA
