#2 If the Turks want to grab a hold of that little slice of heaven, more power to them. I just hope that they fight in Somalia like they did in Korea and Vietnam - lots of dead Somalis and very few troublemakers left alive in their areas.

#3 Agreed. Somalia is far enough away that the Turks can't get a whole lot of regional hegemony points, just global do-gooder points (none of which can be cashed in for membership in the EU).
