I think Turkey and Iran both need a few bombs dropped on them.
We should sell weapons to the Kurds they are our only real idealogical allies in the region and should be defended against such attacks.

"They (PKK) are in our land. We want them to respect the law and not use our territory to stage attacks" against Iran or Turkey, said Imad Ahmed, deputy prime minister of northern Kurdistan's Suleimaniyeh province. "We want them to leave our country but in peace, not in war. If they want to stay they have to use politics, not weapons."

I think many people don't understand that the PKK are communists.
I hope the Iraqis can do something to get them under control.

It is going to be up to Talabani and the new Iraqi interior/defense ministers, and PM, to put their foot down on this one. At this point, the PKK is no different then say the Mahdi army or Badr Brigade in the sense, no militias or paramilitary groups can be tolerated in Iraq.
And since the PKK is listed by the USA and some other nations as being a terrorist organization driven by Marxist prinicipals under the guise of Kurdish nationalism, it will be hard for the Iraqi not to do something about it in the near future.
If Iraq wants free trading agreements with the Turks in this region to help bring in tax dollars and business, they cannot let the PKK and sister organizations such as the PEJAK (Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan), continue to disturb the northern border with Iran and Turkey.
