What to do with Turkey?
Jerusalem Post contributor Caroline Glick asserts that Turkey has moved into the camp of radical Islam; she's troubled by a lack of Turkish support for Operation Cast Lead. The merits of this argument aside (and I think it's bat**** insane), what would the policy implications of such a shift be? This is to say, if Turkey really did join Tehran's camp (and, given Turkey's massive military and economic superiority over Iran, it would shortly become Ankara's camp), what policy changes ought the United States conduct? I must admit that the question is animated, in large part, by the last chapter of Wayne Hughes' Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat; replace Greece with Israel, and replay?
