The chance of destabalizing northern Iraq carries very serious consequences that are pertinent to America’s current position in Iraq. If Turkey goes rogue into northern Iraq, which seems likely (viz. the parliamentary resolution authorizing incursions), the ramifications of such an action will prove severe to Turkey’s domestic and international politics.

You are completely right. They crossed the line with that statement. I don’t believe we should take action against the Kurdish rebels, but there was no reason for the resolution–not right now. It just adds fuel to the fire. Turkey needs to chill out for a minute and recognize they are not in a position to make demands.

Put a handle on that moon, and cross it with a hammer, and change all the white to yellow and what do we have? Communist conspiracy theories commence.

Is it just me or is Turkey becoming progressively more extreme and out of the world mainstream? I really hope they turn around and come back to reconcilliation with the West instead of turning more towards the Middle East.
