Common Determinations

Now there's a marriage meant to last. If they share a religion, a common background, an ancient heritage, a geographical consanguinity, political ideology, and enemy-antipathies there is enough in common to weather the occasional little disagreement. And they've found one another at last. The failed relationship with another suitor is in the past, well shed, and the new relationship is blooming.

Well, there are slight instances where they're on shaky ground, where Turkey claims it cannot stomach their mutual relations with Syria on the basis of the regime's current backlash on its determined revolutionaries intent on unseating their president. While Iran has full confidence in Syria's ability to tamp down the protests, much as they did themselves, halting their own Green Revolution in half-stride.

Seems they've patched up the little squabbles between them and have now focused on another issue that has concerned them, for neither they nor Iraq nor Syria envision stomaching the absurd notion that they would willingly surrender an acre of their land to the presumptuous demands of the Kurdish nation anxious to re-assemble their real estate in an internationally-acknowledged parcel of their own.

"Our common determination in fighting against PKK and PJAK (Party of Free Life of Kurdistan; Iran) will continue in the strongest way. We will work together in a common action plan until the area is completely free of the threat of terror", expounded Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's foreign minister, meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Ali Akbar Salehi.

It is perfectly all right, needless to say, to encourage, train, arm terrorists to threaten other nations because they can be named freedom fighters, guerrillas for Allah, holy jihadists. Quite another thing to be on the receiving end of implacably-determined attacks by those who insist it is their human right to be recognized as a nation with a landmass dedicated to them alone.
