That is what the Bush Administration is telling Turkey. Guerrillas from the PKK ambushed a Turkish Army patrol in Turkey and killed at least 17 soldiers. The Bush Administration is trying to persuade Turkey not to cross into the Kurdish areas of Iraq to try and deal with the PKK.
Imagine, if you will, that there was a group of Montanan separatists operating in Canada and that they engaged in cross-border raids into the US, killing American soldiers. Does anyone think for a picosecond that Bush would show restraint and not send the Army after them?
Bush has set the standard that it is OK to invade another country to deal with a terrorist threat, real or perceived. Bush did it in Iraq and the Bush Administration cheered on Israel when the Israelis went after Hezbollah last year. Any honest human with an ounce of integrity would realize that there is no way to say that the Turks do not have the same right.
Buth then again, "integrity" and George Bush are not exactly on speaking terms.
