Stop suffering from a generalized hatred disease.

I don't know who you think I hate. Furthermore, I agree 100% that it is the military and extremists, that keep people from getting along everywhere in the entire world. I should however leave the military out of it. It is extremist and extremists (some of whom use the military as a tool).

What I do see however, is a population of people, and spokesman claiming to represent those people (most of whom I assume to be power hungry or worse glory hungry), making them selves heard, while presenting an appearance of popular support. I'm in no position to judge them as to the popularity of their publicly stated cause, until an adequate presentation from (not of) both sides has been adequately presented. I have very good cause to believe that the situation is any thing but peaceful. I hope I am wrong. I want to be wrong. But the evidence submitted thus far does not indicate that I am.

I like what you wrote.

Most of us back east are snakes in the grass. The smaller the more venomous.

The smaller snakes like to use others to do their bidding.

Gotto be very very suspicious all the time when dealing with those little snakes... Soap on a rope is well worth the investment.

I have LOTS of ethnic Kurdish friends in Turkey. I trust them with everything.

We had a Kurdish president, Turgut Ozal.

You can't even tell the difference between who's an ethnic Kurd and who is not.

I live in Ohio for the time being. I coach little league soccer on a voluteer basis.

One of the kids on my team is a Kurd. His father calls me coach - in Turkish that means "ram," a term of endearment which also shows pride.

Your media bites not only when it comes to bashing you and your war effort in Irak, but also when it comes to anything it reports about us and our ancient allies the Kurds.
