Intervention by Turkey

Intervention by Turkey

I have been following the 'guerrilla war' going on in Syria, and I am perplexed at some comments made by westerners from the comfort of their peaceful homes.  

          Tanks sitting on the Turkish side 

Let us briefly look at the issue at hand.  

But first, I will re-write the question, why are some screaming for meddling and interventions by Turkey? 

The answer is that the Turkey does not want to get dragged into an in-ending & un-winnable guerrilla war.  

I invite citizens of the world to read 'Art of War' by Mr Sun Tzu.

If USA politicians actually read the book, they, I mean the politicians would not be constantly getting involved in fiascos all the time, all around the world.  

          Men watching the bombing

If IS (Islamic State) attacks Turkey, then the matter is different, as Turkey is justified to protect its borders and therefore retaliate.  What Turkey is doing is watching how the affair unfolds and using caution.  This 'caution' is something all countries should use, before bombing each other.  

But, let's say something needs to be done right away, as in we need to go into Syria and 'bomb' IS or other parties.  

I for one definitely agree that something should be done to save the people of the town of Kobani. 

However, Turkey should not fight IS on its own.  

What is required is a a 'joint force' of NATO countries going in to solve this dilemma.  

Or how about the 'so called' world powers of USA, UK, Canada and France, putting their nose into this as well and going into Syria and bombing that country like Afghanistan or Irak or Vietnam was 'handled' previously.  

But, let's not be sarcastic here.  

If Turkey were part of a joint force it would make sense to complete a 'peaceful ground operation' but for a single country to invade another is illegal and absolutely foolish. 

I hope our politicians have learned that 'war is not the answer to peace'.  I really hope that...

Sincerely, 

Ben
