I thought I would propose a question rather than just knee jerk reactionary diatribe that often ends up here . (Please note I am not being biased both sides are good at that.)

So what do you think?

Right now we have Turky invading Iraq because the ethnic Kurds that have been persecuted in Turkey are making incursions into Turkey.
We have Iran which has swung more right than it was 5 years ago. Although Iran is always confusing and giving mixed signals. Syria is backing out of Lebanon allowing that country more self rule and the divisions that divide the country are showing. THere is of course Israel?........

All of this geopolitical unrest makes me unsure what the region will look like in 25 years.I can forsee Turkey trying to anneex much of Norhtern Iraq (which just happens to be oil rich.). This would leave a smaller countrybut with the secular violence occurring which faction do you tink will take ultimate control?

It's late I need to get to bed however, I was just wondering what you bright minds thought.
