#1 Israel would appreciate such punishment, too.

No one stopping Israel from doing it themselves.

#2 Erdogan is a son of a bitch who right now seems to want us to believe that he is our son of a bitch. But it's still very unclear to me how the United States has a dog in this fight. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt and now Syria...it seems the more we meddle in the Middle East the worse it gets. It's unlikely that Putin will do any better than we have but I don't care. Give me one good reason why I should. Let Erdogan fret. His country might still nominally be a democracy but his instincts don't seem any better than Assad's. For now at least, I'm content to sit comfortably here with my popcorn.
