I have seen neocon wet dream maps of a "greater kurdistan" showing the kurds with the coastal oil producing regions of Iran. Kurds better remember how often the Bushies have betrayed their allies and how often Turkey has gone to war.

This is a very interesting scenario, Lady E. Why does the UK favor having the them in the EU? Their natural resources? quote: ORIGINAL: LadyEllen Dont underestimate the Turks. Theyre not some backward lot. They want EU membership. Say for instance, the US wanted them to take over in Iraq. The US puts pressure on those resisting the Turks in the EU and encourages those who would like the Turks in the EU (mainly the Brits, interestingly). The Turks get into the EU, whose power balance is suddenly tilted firmly away from the Franco-German pole and into the hands of more US friendly member states. The Turks get a cut of the oil money from Iraq and a chance to put an end to business with the Kurds once and for all, whilst a blind eye is turned. The US gets out of Iraq and can focus on Iran. The Brits get control of the EU and the US gets strong influence over the EU via the Brits. Everyone wins. Stranger things have happened. Like the selling out of the eastern bloc in 1945 for instance. E

Britain is against the real political union in the EU and it believes that with Turkey as a member countries like Germany and France will shy away from a deeper union and will settle for the EU being merely a glorified economic free trade zone.

Also by supporting Turkish entry B ritain can appeart to be very even handed and not anti muslim, whilst at the same time secure in the knowledge that i9t will not happen because Germany and France fear such a situation and will block it.
