This is going to be a very bad thing. Chomsky is going to be all over this. Can we start calling this \"Gulf War II\" now, instead of \"Iraq War\"? Or should we call it the \"central and southeast asian U.S. war against anyone Rumsfeld doest like.\"

It\'s gulf war III. The first one Saddam started when he saw chickens come home to roost in neighboring Iran, so he got support from US to fight a war for the health of his state. Kurds created autonomous zones during this time, so he bought bioweapons from US... The article to read for good stateless communist analysis was at anarchymag.org

Somewhat prophetic...

\" But it\'s much more likely that major problems will begin for the American empire soon after the downfall of Saddam, during the post-war occupation, when the US finds itself alone in the mess it has created, within a larger context of spreading global chaos that is also a US creation. A bloody two-year long \'low-intensity\' conflict is likely -- like what the Israelis get with the Palestinians, but on a much larger scale, the humiliation experienced by US Army Rangers in Mogadishu magnified many times over. A large-scale popular uprising isn\'t impossible, either. At that point, the rulers of the US will be forced to chose between running away again, like they did in Lebanon, and Somalia, and Kosovo -- or condemning US troops to be bled white in a conflict they can\'t win.

\"And that\'s not even beginning to imagine what can go wrong for the owners of America if they get the US into a second or third major ground war in another part of the world while still attempting to impose their version of order in Iraq. \"
-- Angyal Istvan

I imagine Jalal Talabani and the other Kurdish faction head whose name I can\'t remember won\'t have much to say about this--what\'s one more competitor for power out of the way? I wonder how most Kurds view the PKK, though, and how action against the PKK could affect their own lives.

It\'s like the decay of the British Empire all over again--right down to the peoples that got jerked around the last time.

Good Article, Although I would not classify The PKK as a Paramilitary they are more of a guerrilla group.

This is a group we should support even more than the Palestinians because we can use their situation (and that of the Romanies and saraweri\'s,Diego Garcians,etc,etc) to demonstrate the hopelessness of Nation states and the benefits of spreading and extending statelessness.

Whats in it for us being the highest priority.

From memory the Armenians blew up the Turkish consulate in melbourne once and it that was part of a global campaign.Maybe Chris Hitchens will organize a united resistance...and even drop that flag he\'s wrapped in!

We don\'t want any more Chechenya\'s surely to fuck.
