    Of our making.

    I was stationed in Turkey from 1980 to 1982 and I have never heard such hatred in my life, as I heard from Turks when speaking about Kurds.  Talk such as "kill them all," and "Hitler had the wrong target".  It should have been obvious to these neocons, who by their own admission were very smart people," that their invasion of Iraq could result in the establishment of a separate Kurdish state, and that the Turks would never accept a Kurdish state with whom their Kurdish minority, actually a majority in much of eastern Turkey, could join.

      LOTS of things should have been obvious before these fools decided to invade Iraq.  They were obvious to so many of us with even a rudimentary knowledge of history and culture.  The plain fact is they didn't care.  God (in a voice remarkably similar to that of Dick Cheney) told W to invade and invade he did.  That every stinkin' thing that we have tried to accomplish there has turned to s**t must be just the result of the gays who want to get hitched or the Mexicans pouring over our borders or lack of telecom immunity - or something.  This was as predictable as the sunrise and yet these jokers thought they could just waltz in and fix everybody right up.
