[Therearenosunglasses's Weblog] Should NATO resolve the Kurdish question? « Therearenosunglasses's ...: [Every national terrorist group has a state sponsor. The issue of Kurdish terrorism and the response to it, like the Taliban terrorism in Pakistan, can only be solved by cutting the militants off from their state sponsors. (Exposing these government terrorist conspiracies will end them. Governments cannot openly support terrorists, so making secret support operations public is the best possible defense.) In both examples, the militants have Western sponsors. Israel is the only reason that the Kurds can field a professional army afield, while the US is the hidden hand behind the Pakistani Taliban (TTP). Turkey can easily overwhelm the inferior Kurdish forces once supply lines are exposed, those leading from Tel Aviv, through northern Iraq, into eastern Turkey. Pretending that these supply lines don't exist, in order to paper-over tensions with Israel (in order to please Obama), will guarantee that the terror attacks continue and possibly intensify.
