Several problems with invading "Kurdistan" to "eradicate" the PKK.

#1--it's next to impossible. Exhibit A--the wonderful success the US had in catching Osama in 2003. Similar situation--mountains your quarry knows--and you don't. Sympathizers among the people who really know the area.

Now the PKK has called a "ceasefire'--supposedly. After just killing about 17 Turkish soldiers.

The newly-elected Turkish government will have to do something--even if it's just a raid into "Kurdistan"-killing a few PKK members--but with no hope of actually stopping the problem.

But it sure can't rely on either the Iraqi government, the governing body of "Kurdistan", or the US to do the job.

So the wound will continue to fester.
