A Dec. 30, 2015, New York Times article bore the headline, Turkeys Campaign Against Kurdish Militants Takes Toll on Civilians. It began:
A major Turkish military operation to eradicate Kurdish militants in Turkeys restive southeast has turned dozens of urban districts into bloody battlefields, displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians and shattering hopes of reviving peace as an old war reaches its deadliest level in two decades.
The newspaper of record detailed the carnage but barely touched on historical context beyond: The Kurds are a geographically dispersed minority whose aspirations for autonomy date back decades.
Since the Kurds are the largest ethnic group in the world without their own country (a population as high as 40 million) and have often been used as geo-political pawns, it seems as good a time as any to remind readers how the Land of the Free and criminals like Henry Kissinger operate.
