Turks and Kurds stage protest in downtown Dallas on Saturday

1

— The conflict that's occurring on the border between northern Iraq and southern Turkey prompted a protest in Dallas on Saturday afternoon at Ferris Plaza, across from Union Station (and, not coincidentally, right in front of the Dallas Morning News building), when approximately 40 Kurdish and Turkish protesters yelled at each other. The Turks told the Kurds to stop harboring terrorists. The Kurdish supporters said they wanted peace. All of this going on right here in Dallas, who knew?

Just ask any cop- there's nothing like dealing with a domestic disturbance call. And that's what the can of worms in Iraq is- a big bunch of domestic squabbles.

I hope they got the publicity they were searching for. However, it seems to me- if the protesters are here, and don't have any direct influence on the problem over there, then they might as well be sitting down to a latte.

Even here- away from their homelands, they are arguing amongst themselves. (See a pattern here?) Lucky for us, their not protesting against America- yet.
