The Congressional Human Rights Caucus and the Human Rights Alliance recently commemorated the l1th anniversary of Saddam Husseins massacre of over 5.000 Kurds in the village of Halabja. The suffering of the Kurdish people has not gone completely unnoticed but we need to do more for the Kurdish people. The government of Turkeys undeclared war on the Kurds has claimed close to 40.000 lives and caused more than 3 million people to become refugees. Mr. Ocalans appearance in Rome with a pledge that he was ready to renounce violence presented an opportunity for peace but neither Turkey nor the United States took him up on his offer.
