That's passing strange.
NATO went to great lengths to use armed force to support the independence of Bosnians, Croats, and Kosovars. (Albanians who moved north?) During the bombing raids on Serbia, a Greek staff officer I worked with was distraught.
His point: "we are bombing the wrong people!"
Why not throw the full weight of NATO in support of the Kurds?
The initial liberation of the Kurds, begun on 2003, ought to be followed up upon!
