Default Re: Will Turkey Invade Iraqi Kurdistan?

I'm not as sanguine about this. Turkey has a pretty fanatical history with the Kurds, and with the apparent failure of the US to get the central government on the road to stability, they have to be pretty worried about a de facto independent Kurdish state on their borders.

Also, the EU's recent hostility towards Turkey's membership bid is going to weaken Europe's moderating influence.
