Iraq's Talabani warns neighbors to stop interfering
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani warns that Iraq can "make trouble" for its neighbors if they do not stop interfering in his country's internal affairs.

In an interview to air on National Public Radio on Tuesday, Talabani said Syria, Iran and Turkey were interfering and warned that Iraq's patience was wearing thin.

Asked what Iraq would do if the interfering continues, Talabani said his people would respond in kind. "The Iraqi people will respond in the same way, we'll support the opposition of other countries, will try to make trouble for them as they are doing for us," he said.

"We can do it in Iran, in Syria, in Turkey, but we are not doing it," Talabani said. "Our policy is not to interfere in the internal affairs of these countries and ask them and beg them not to interfere in our internal affairs because it creates chaos in the Middle East."

2. How? By throwing rocks at them?
Iraq is in no position to threaten anyone, given they can't even manage their own affairs.

3. The Kurds could cause Turkey and Iran big problems
And, the Sunnis could cause Syria problems.

The PPK is a little group that is alone causing Turkey to lose billions in Tourism each year. If the major Kurdish parties support the bombings the violence in Turkey would go up 100 fold.

5.  Syria, Iran and Turkey...
They always "forget" to mention Saudi Arabia.
The Viceroy's memo has been read and memorized.
