Gulf of Tonkin Resolution Play by Turkey for Syria/N.A.T.O.?

One of Turkey's warplanes was shot down after briefly invading Syrian air space.  Turkey will consult N.A.T.O. Tuesday. If this incident seems a little like the Gulf Of Tonkin Resolution paradigm, perhaps it is. As a member of N.A.T.O. Turkey if attacked has the right to get help from the member states, yet Syria has not attacked Turkey-it was a Turkish warplane that invaded Syrian air space though the plane crashed and sank in the Mediterranean Sea.

If N.A.T.O. becomes a tool for Sunni Muslim states to evict non-Sunni leadership regimes to replace them with the Muslim Brotherhood it would seem that N.A.T.O. would have its thinking cap in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

The Sunni states of the Middle East have been lusting after excuses to war upon Syria and get rid of the Alawite minority government for some time. The Obama administration has been a community organizer for back alley weapons gifts and pay allowances for the Muslim Brotherhood insurgents and have probably been helped by Al Qa'eda terrorist bombings. France might like to get some of its Syrian influence back as well. N.A.T.O. ought not become a dupe for waging aggressive war when no N.A.T.O. nation has been attacked.

The opportunity for Syria to defend against Turkish jet aircraft attacks is brief at a thousand miles per hour. Maybe Turkey sent a bait aircraft and a disposable pilot to force a premise for a daft N.A.T.O. consideration of defending Turkey from Syria. Kofi Anan who has been helping the increase of the conflict through his 'negotiating' that probably requires the Assad Government give up power, is another front for the exacerbation of the development of war. If the United States and the U.N. stayed out of the mess, along with N.A.T.O. the war would probably burn itself out with fewer casualties.

Though the U.S.A. might not like the Assad Government, in the real Middle East the political values are somewhat different as the control of power may mean life or death to the people involved. American desires for Potemkin democratic procedures that install a one-party perennial rule with superficial democracy do not inevitably increase the well being and freedom of the majority or for the just.
