The Grand National Assembly of Turkey rejected the existence of US forces in Turkey.
I hope this will give a chance to peace:
This waited for an hour in Community Announcements forum but I moved it here before it gets outdated...

I second this, and I'm sure they will do so!

Thank you Bozden! Finally! Someone that is sure he will disarm! Whew! I was beginning to think that no one could be sure of that! I can sure rest easier now that you are sure he is going to do so! Thank you, thank you! I feel so relieved! What a very great worry that has been lifted from me! You Da'Man!
BTW, how many chances should peace get? 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11. 12 YEARS maybe? 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17. 18 U.N. RESOLUTIONS over those 12 years maybe? No, not enough? Geez, there is none so blind as he who will not see.
Do like your peace sign though....... far out, groovy.

I appreciate your feelings, Bozden ... I was there during the Vietnam War era. This, though, is so very, very different.

I donīt get this thing about disarmament? - so many countries with crazy leaders (Bush included) have weapons of mass destruction. With the range of Saddamīs rockets, the only oneīs who should (and do) fear them is his own people. So what are you yanks so afraid of with Saddam, that you donīt fear with N korea, Pakistan, India and other countries who have far worse weapons?
And if Saddam wanted to use terrorism, he would have done so by now (12 years).
You have far worse enemies than Iraq (!) - why donīt you drop some food and medicine on the poor people and strenghten them to deal with this on their own/supported by the UN ?
Itīs clear to any 3rd party in this matter, that your president belongs in an institution, - but heīs just one man, your whole country will have to deal with and take responsibility for what you are about to do within a couple of weeks. - please stop him. |

And our whole country will have to deal with and take responsibility for not doing anything as we did in Afghanistan. It's funny you say "your president belongs in an institution" but you don't mention Saddam.

what makes you so sure that he has not? an Abu Sayyaf commander in the Philippines boasted over radio that his extremist group has received more than a few million dollars worth of financial assistance from within Iraq. |

I respect (though I don't necessarily agree) Turkey's combined opinion regarding the U.S.' presence/assistance on its soil.
Turkey suffered quite a bit economically during the Gulf War when hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to its border when the war raged on.
The package that the U.S. has agreed to in return for Turkey's 'friendship' would have lessen the direct impact of war to this country and offer military security within its borders (not including Turkey's direct military role in the Iraq border bufferzone).
Now, all of these may no longer be possible, except for the repeat of the influx of refugees to its borders should the war (and I have a gut feeling that it's just a matter of time) ignites within the next few weeks.
A foolish decision or a principled stance -- only time will tell, I guess.
We sold you to the Russians during the Cuban Missile crisis. You sold us to Iraq during our time of needs.
I hope the friendship between the two countries find a new way to rekindle...
