Pre-empting pre-emption
ABC News is reporting that a force of 1500 Turkish commandos has just crossed the border into northern Iraq to control the refugee flow and prevent formation of a Kurdish state. The US and the Kurds oppose this incursion.
I think the doctrine of pre-emption, that conservatives assure us would never be a problem, has just been invoked for the second time. I pray we do not have more exciting preemptive actions, like a preemptive nuclear war between India and Pakistan, to look forward to.
