Neither am I, Chris, but I'm curious why *you* aren't in favor of NATO
using force in Turkey.  To quote Chomsky again:  "By very conservative
estimates, Turkish repression of Kurds in the 1990s falls in the
category of Kosovo. It peaked in the early 1990s; one index is the
flight of more than a million Kurds from the countryside to the
unofficial Kurdish capital, Diyarbakir, from 1990 to 1994, as the
Turkish army was devastating the countryside."
