Good idea. She could do a better job than the Turkish government, which probably has no support in the world. The idea is to let Asad fall & then move in and pick up the pieces.

The Turks will certainly contemplate the liquidation of the Kurds quite complacently. Why on earth would they ever want to protect them? The only effect this campaign will have is to make the Turks look bad in the aftermath. Perhaps that's the intent. It's hard to figure out what's going on here. Matters may have rather spun out of the control of those who originally set them in motion. Meanwhile there' a certain grim satisfaction in seeing tropes recycled from the Balkan wars. If Susan Sontag were still among us, she would no doubt helicopter in and stage a performance of Waiting For Godot. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l -- Cheers, Tom Walker (Sandwichman)
