Comments on: Travels in the Kurdish Blogosphere http://globalvoicesonline.org/2005/10/19/travels-in-the-kurdish-blogosphere-3/ The world is talking. Are you listening?

With the advent of globalism and a new world order without borders, don't be surprised (as the technosavy new generation emerges) if nationalism goes out the same way as did communism. Turkey will, in the end, allow separate states to be operating on its land (as did the Ottomans, at one time) so long as it can show its citizens the benefits of doing so. Remember, history shows over and over, yesterday's terrorists? emerge as tomorrow's leaders. I say this as a Turk but as a realist as well.

They have to do it slowly though. Can't eradicate decades of misinformation. I turly believe the Armenian, as well as the Kurdish issues will be settled. As for the Kurds, they will have a state, such as the Palestinians. That new Kurdish state will most likely have borders containing what is Iraq and parts of Turkey. This is probably the best solution for Turks, Kurds and others to live in peace in the future. I also believe in the tooth fairy? Seriously though, the next 10 years will bring all this about, just my opinion! this government in Turkey is all about changing public opinion. They have to do it slowly though.
