Kurds and Turks

Many of the same people who said that the United States cannot afford to be the policeman of the world are now bemoaning the fact that US troops will not be used to keep two Mideast groups from fighting. The Turks and the Kurds have been fighting since 1978 and will continue until one side is defeated. Situations where one ethic group is a minority in a country and fighting for independence has occurred throughout history. The majority of Kurds are Muslims but they are not Arabs. They are linguistically, ethnically and culturally totally different people than the Turks.
