Unintended Consequences


Dumbya's war on Iraq is having additional unintended consequences for Iraq's neighbors. Leaving aside the flood of Iraqi refugees pouring into Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia, Turkey is now faced with cross-border attacks by Kurdish guerrillas operating from northern Iraq/Kurdistan. The simmering conflict between the Turks and Kurds is starting to reach the boiling point. Turkey is a member of NATO, so does that mean that if Iraqi Kurds are guilty of aggression against our ally, we will come to Turkey's aid? Someone should ask Dumbya.
