Turkish military kills 41 Kurdish rebels

CUKURCA, Turkey - Turkey's military said Monday it had killed 41 more separatist Kurdish rebels in clashes in northern Iraq, raising the reported guerrilla death toll in a cross-border operation to 153.
If this violation of Iraq's territorial integrity were undertaken not by our NATO ally, Turkey, but by Axis-of-Evil member Iran, would the U.S. simply stand by as an interested observer?
At what point will the authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan, or in the putative Iraqi National Government, decide that enough is enough? What will they do?
Far from being the bright beacon of democracy envisioned by W and his neocon enablers, Iraq continues to produce ever-more regional instability.
Contemplating this mess, I am almost inclined to support McCain - let HIM be stuck with this disaster! (In my saner moments I retreat from this position. Another Republican in the White House - and a W clone at that! - is probably not what the country really needs.)
Stop the madness!
