Thiago Oppermann >...The comment about Turkey should get a footnote.  Aren't
there some reasons why it is so happy about this new war on terror that have
little to do with Islamic fundamentalist? I thought their main concern was

   My sense is that the capture and trial of Occalan has greatly diminished
the fighting capacity of the PKK.
