2 million refugees. By the time the USA is able to extricate Bush's military from Iraq there will be at least one million dead from war. The debt for future generations of Americans will be insoluble.
As war breaks out between Turkey and the Kurds, will the USA attack both sides as they do the Shia and Sunnis in Baghdad or will the USA be forced to take sides with Turkey as an ally and begin ethnic cleansing of the Kurds from Turkey? Ten will get you twenty that Bush backs Turkey for the oil. Right? Right. I mean that is all the 'say' the American people have in this mess. Bush is willful in all he does and it's anyone guess what happens next.

When Saddam carried out crimes against humanity, more or less, the entire Islamic world commiserated with him and the world powers shrugged off their humanitarian responsibilities to muscle in. They did not demonstrate a modicum of desire to imperil their interests for the sake of salvaging few million dispossessed Kurds until the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
In the wake of Turkey’s refusal to authorize American forces to use its airbases, the American administration became heavily obliged to involuntarily hinge on Kurdish assistance. As a substitute, the Kurds were assured more freedom and a greater sovereignty.
The scale of autonomy that the Kurds have enjoyed has become extremely alarming to Washington and particularly the neighboring countries. A self-determining Kurdish state has virtually crystallized. Even though Pentagon has bluntly proclaimed that it has no interest in the implementation of such a strategy, it appears to be too late to avert it.
Wedged in a new quagmire, the defense is sifting its focus from promoting sectarianism to patriotism in futile bid to rally diverse Iraqis groups under one national umbrella. Counterbalancing Kurdish progression toward absolute self-rule is the key goal of US military strategists in Iraq.
Turkish military forces are advancing into Kurdish autonomous region and targeting villages around Dohuk and Irbil, deep inside Iraqi territory. Iraq has lodged an official complaint to Turkey for shelling Kurdistan, warning against any attack. Some Iraqi political figures and factions have also voiced their objection and condemned the raids.
