Can you say “regional war”?

I knew you could.

Let's see: We have Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran all ready to jump into this little fray.

I say that it's time for that genius of diplomacy, John Heinz Kerry, to call the parties to the table for some “tough but principled” diplomacy.

Can you say “regional war”?

Seriously, if ISIS can consolidate and extend its gains, this will turn the situation around in Syria. Assad's days are numbered. Then Turkey gets drawn in. Iran will be hard pressed not to intervene. Forget NATO.
