Last night I watched the debate and saw even the supposedly anti-war Barack Obama state that yes he would not only bomb Pakistan if terrorists were there, but he would also re-invade Iraq after pulling out if terrorists went back to Iraq.
So when Turkey invaded its neighbor and a defacto US protectorate, Iraq it should not have surprised me much. After all the PKK is considered to be a group of terrorists, and by the new international standards, it is OK to invade a country if that country happens to have a nasty band of terrorists whether its Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Phillipines, or even Canada.
Turkey sent more then 40 trucks filled with troops towards the Iraqi border today, as clashes with the Kurdistan Workers' party (PKK) continued.
Where terrorists are concerned there apparently are no rules any longer. All countries are now free to go to war, invade, or torture anyone they like . . . well as long as they brand them a terrorist first.
In a world like that people will sooner or later not be able to remain content searching for the best buy online for a DVD movie. Eventually this will escalate and we will all have to face it and deal with it directly.
