The recent clashes between the Turkish military and the Kurdish rebels has only made an already bad situation even worse. With Turkey gnawing at the reins it is going to be a difficult job to convince the Turks not to invade Iraq at the moment. The problem is further compounded by the fact that most of the Iraqi's will view any such unilateral action on the part of Turkey as an act of invasion and will oppose any such moves by direct action on their part.The Turkey - Kurdish clashes is fast turning out to be one major headache that no one wants to handle at the moment.
If they are not careful, Turkey could well start of another war that no one wants. As things stand Iraq is not exactly a realm of peace and security at the moment. The district that Turkey is itching to invade is one of the more peaceful districts of Iraq and any action by Turkey on it could well start off a chain reaction that will be hard to stop. Either the United states or the Iraqi government must act now before it is too late. The Untied states must make it clear to Turkey that if Turkey were to start any incursions into the sovereign territory of Iraq, it will view it as an act of invasion and take what ever action is needed to be taken to counter such a move. one can only hope that patriotism aside that Turkey is listening!
