WE now see the real cynical reasoning behind Turkey's devious actions in refusing coalition troops to use crossings along their borders with Iraq.

Now they want to send 10,000 into Northern Iraq to attack and contain the Kurds.

The Kurds have long suffered from Saddam and the Turks, whose regime is also one of the cruellest in modern history.

If America allow this to happen, we will see yet another Bosnia-style ethnic cleansing.

We must not assist Turkey to continue with their cruelty against the Kurdish people.
