A11   Giving Kurds the shaft   I wish to comment upon the irony in "U.S. opposes Kurdistan" (Embassy Row," Nation, Wednesday).  While the United States opposes the 35 million Kurds having their own nation, we went to war against the sovereign nation of Yugoslavia to ensure that all 1 million of Kosovo's ethnic Albanians could have their own nation.  (Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo gained their majority by crossing illegally from Albania into Kosovo and through multiple births by being allowed to have four wives at one time.) There is something rotten in Denmark, or should I say Washington? Robert W. Pearson, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, is quoted in the above-referenced item as saying "Neither we nor any other country has the authority" to approve a Kurdish state.  "We have heard Turkey's concerns, and we respect them," he continued.  We certainly didn't hear Serbia's concerns before we bombed them back to the Stone Age, nor did we respect the Serbian people when we approved an all Muslim, al Qaeda-supported state in Kosovo for the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army.  Nor did we have qualms over the killing of the remaining Serbs (mostly elderly) in Kosovo, nor the ongoing desecration and destruction of their medieval churches.  Such crimes continue without one word of condemnation from our illustrious State Department.   However, there is a solution.  We either demand that Ankara comply with a homeland for the Kurds or be bombed, just like we bombed Belgrade when we forced them to comply with our demands regarding Kosovo.   Have you noticed that when Iraqis kills Kurds, we bomb.  But when Turks kill Kurds, that's all right because Turkey is our great ally.   STELLA L.
