Or Maybe Not........

Gees! I leave the house to go to a school fair with our middle child and reports have the Turks on board for the war; I come back and they've nullified the approval. I really wish they'd make up their minds already!

Actually, as I said in my earlier post, the fact that the opposition went through proper channels and had the measure declared unconstitutional is a blessing. It further proves the point that the Muslim culture and democracy are not mutually exclusive.

In the short term, this has got to put a kink in our war planning. I believe it was Geraldo Rivera on Hannity & Colmes the other night who said that today was being looked at as a go/no-go day. Which means that this delay may close a northern front in the war.

Longer term, I think that this bodes well as it cements Turkey as a model of stability if not consistency in the Middle East.
