The PKK and American Indians have nothing in common.
The indians land was stolen continusously and they were packed onto reservations that were not hospitaale to live on.
To this day, not only are they poor, they have the highest unemployment rate, highest alcoholism rate and highest suicide rate of any group in America.

Quoting qdemir:

Could you speak more specifically? What problems and roots?


I don't understand your question qdemir. What problem? - the problem we're talking about - bombs in the city! What are the roots? - you should know better then me. If it's Pkk that set this up, then one of the roots is discrimination against Kurds in Turkey. I'm not an expert on the turkish problems, but I know for sure that if your only reaction is going to be aggression back then you're setting yourself up for more violence... obviously! On top of many other consequences, like perception of Turkey abroad.



So you are somewhat justifiying the violent acts of these terrorists? Do you know their aim? Do you think they fight to get their "rights"? Do you know who supports them?

Problems with indigenous peoples occurred in the USA into the the 20th century, even into the 1960s.

Now we allow them to operate gambling casinos and distribute the wealth among there own tribes.

Now they are all to rich too rebel.

Who deleted my message?
There was nothing wrong in it, they were just the realities. Is it banned to talk about the reality of the kurdish separatist terror group PKK?



Yes actually I wondered the same.. There was nothing wrong with your message.


As mod, can't you see message that have been deleted? Why don't you just put it back

I'm failing to see the similiarities here. I am very tolerent by nature. I have nothing against kurds, but the PKK is a terrorist organization and they need to be destroyed. Now. For all our safety.

longi - on top of you being completely wrong, it's abhorrent for you to say "we allow them"!! This is THEIR country! And I think you meant to say "their problems with us!"



I apologize from my poor choice of words.

KeithL, what do you mean you are tolerant towards Kurds? Aren't they people too? There is not supposed to be a question about "whether to be tolerant towards Kurds or not". Of course, I absolutely agree about terrorism - that needs to be stopped ASAP, I'm just not sure if more violence will take care of that. Didn't seem to work in the past in most places and 99% of victims will be innocent people from both sides! Do you really want that??? This idea kind of reminds me of the attitude of president Bush and half of the Americans after 9/11. Violence as a justified means to solve conflicts? Nobody will ever benefit from that. You need to look at the roots of the problem for all our safety.
