Seems to me we should unabashedly back Turkey's decision to do the same in Iraq.

I meant to put this question in the "Opinions and Beliefs" section but anyhow, you hit on my underlying question here: we fully supported Israel's response to a Hezbollah inspired border incident. Israel responded by bombing much of Lebanon's infrastructure to rubble including parts of Beirut. Israel also launched a land invasion. Thousands were killed and cluster bombs left behind continue to kill and maim. Washington insisted this was a reasonable response. Therefore, is it reasonable for Turkey to bomb and invade Iraq, including Baghdad and leave a large number of cluster bombs in N.Iraq as a parting gesture?
