I can't help but wonder if Turkey is looking to challenge Iran by bringing back the "Ottoman Empire," as the leader of the muslim caliphate. Iran will have nukes, but Turkey may be trying to gain a following by demonizing Israel.

Hmmmm,,, interesting take. Because all Turkey really has to do is stand by and watch as the Iranians and Israelis duke it out.

Turkey really isn’t involved here and is sorta forcing it’s way in. Also, anyone have any ideas as to whether or not Turkey is anything like Greece financially? States with crappy financial situations often look to the warpath for a solution.
