Watch Out
This is something to keep an eye on:
Newsweek reports that Kurdish separatists operating out of Iraq have killed 15 Turkish soldiers in cross-border raids over the past week and pressure is building in Ankara for retaliation, especially in light of America’s strong support for Israel’s incursion into Lebanon.
This has been quietly simmering for some time. If Iraq breaks up, which seems increasingly likely, you've got to wonder how long until Turkey decides that the new Kurdish state represents too much of a threat via encouraging separatist in Turkey to peel of a large hunk of Turkey and fold it into a Kurdish homeland.

Israel/Lebannon II maybe?

Well, we did set the tone with an unprovoked first strike.

Has everybody gone crazy?
