Ne vedremo delle belle.   Per vedere perche', raccomando il film

che fa un paragone fra la repressione dei Kurdi da parte di Saddam
(i Kurdi buoni che combattono la tirannia) con la repressione
dei Kurdi da parte della Turchia (i Kurdi cattivi che fanno terrorismo
contro un'alleato).

Row over where Turk troops will go in Iraq 
By Mark Bentley in Ankara 
October 11, 2003 
The United States may face tough negotiations with Turkey over plans
to send Turkish troops to neighbouring Iraq, with the two sides
reported to be at loggerheads over where to station the soldiers.
Washington, facing mounting casualties in Iraq, wants Turkey, the only
mainly Muslim member of NATO, to send up to 10,000 troops as soon as
possible following Tuesday's vote in the Turkish parliament in favour
of the deployment.
US officials embroiled in a row with Iraq's governing council - which
does not want any Turkish troops - hope to avoid protracted bargaining
with Turkey.
But Turkey's Hurriyet daily, quoting government sources, said
Washington had already baulked at a Turkish demand to station forces
between Baghdad and a Kurdish-controlled enclave in Iraq's north,
fearing this would upset Iraqi Kurds.
 It said US military officials told Turkish generals the forces should
be deployed west of Baghdad, towards the border.
Kurds on the US-appointed Governing Council suspect Ankara may work to
obstruct any further autonomy for their enclave, particularly if
Turkish soldiers are deployed nearby.
The council opposes the presence in Iraq of soldiers from any
neighbouring country. On Thursday, the council and the US
Administration in Iraq failed to resolve their dispute over the
Turkish troops, but promised to keep talking.
The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, brushed aside
objections to the deployment. "Turkish soldiers aren't going there as
a police or gendarme force," he said. "Negative approaches to soldiers
who go for happiness and tranquillity can't be accepted."
But Mr Erdogan's bravado also belies a lack of support for the plan at
home. At least two-thirds of Turks oppose the troop deployment, say
several recent polls.
"We are going somewhere that we are not welcome," said Inal Batu, an
MP from the Republican People's Party, the country's main opposition
party. "There is an occupying force in Iraq, and if you send troops
there, they will surely be a part of the existing occupying force."
A concern for Ankara is that a push for greater autonomy by Iraqi
Kurds could reignite unrest in south-east Turkey, where a decades-long
separatist war by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has cost more
than 30,000 lives.
Ankara has thousands of troops just inside northern Iraq in a
controversial deployment it said was needed to stop PKK rebels
attacking Turkey. The PKK recently called off a unilateral ceasefire
after five years.
Turkish and US officials said the Turkish force might arrive in Iraq
as early as late November.
Meanwhile, US President George Bush said the war on Iraq was to
protect Americans from "madman" Saddam Hussein. Two US soldiers were
killed and four wounded on Thursday when their patrol was ambushed in
a Shiite area of north-east Baghdad, the US military said.
