Bad move. I don’t think any Syrian will be happy with the Turkish response.

I'm surprised conditions hadn't deteriorated to this point months ago.

Interesting. The pillars did not collapse. Looks like the fireball did most of the damage. What goes around comes around. And if history is to be a predictor, Obama may soon learn that lesson.

In an underreported news item, a Turkish officer was killed fighting with unidentified militants at the Syrian/Turkish border, a few weeks ago. This is probably because they are trying to prevent some elements of the FSA from crossing freely into Turkey.
