No problem.<BR/><BR/>A, another thing that can be done is to write to editors and TV, explaining why their reporting does not fit reality so that they know that you know that they are full of shit and that they are approaching the point of irrelevance at the speed of light.<BR/><BR/>But people have to verify the information in the media as much as they can by teaching themselves about the issues they're interested in.<BR/><BR/>People must educate themselves.Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-79003738928736686972008-03-13T18:35:00.000-07:002008-03-13T18:35:00.000-07:00When I saw this thing in many news (via AFP), I r...When I saw this thing in many news (via AFP), I remembered Kerim Yildiz book The Kurds in Turkey (Turkki, kurdit ja EU in finnish) and somehow I felt there is something now that doesn't fit.

It is stupid, it will achieve nothing. The Wa. Post article was significant. It showed the guerrillas as human beings. Even Bush, who doesn't read any papers, will probably get a summary of the article. And at least you can be sure that the staffers in the White House read it.<BR/><BR/>A minor question, and off topic: What does Şikefta mean, if anything? I ask because, in an account of the battle at hpg-online, Rubar Andok referred to one of the Zap peaks as Şikefta Birindaran Tepesi. Is there a common Kurdish meaning?Gordon Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653661471478630086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-84123462082344347732008-03-12T23:10:00.000-07:002008-03-12T23:10:00.000-07:00Slight mistake with the URL above, the correct one...Slight mistake with the URL above, the correct one is here.<BR/>http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/<BR/>agp/free/dams/turkey.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-25459524843646043682008-03-12T23:09:00.000-07:002008-03-12T23:09:00.000-07:00Also, here is an article that damingly (haha) summ...Also, here is an article that damingly (haha) summarizes the evil behind the GAP project.

Also Sabrina Tavernise is practically Turkish state media relative to what should be expected from the NYT. Joshua Partlow on the other hand...he is original, that was the first article (you know which one) I've seen in mainstream print that actually humanized this conflict. Animals fight, but human beings are the only animals original enough to make peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
