Why don't you have a seat right over there.
Britain really is to blame for a big part of this mess over there. Iraq was their territory as was the land currently known as Israel, formerly Palestine. It is sad and ironic that the rest of the world blames the US for it, when we had very little to do with it back then, if anything at all.
As for Turkey, this will not help them join the "cool kids" table in Europe, but who know's. Maybe they are using this as leverage saying behind closed doors "we will continue to bomb until you become our friend" some countries in Europe just might buy that and cave...time will tell
Oh indeed. Lets not forget that former Brit possession, and stalwart ally in the GWOT, Pakistan. Imagine if that country was just another state of India, where moderate Islam is the mean.
