"It's from memory, but the implication was there: Turkey is using the same justification that we are using. "
This is going to turn into the WWI world... A lot of militaries, a lot of grudges and a lot of bogus ad hoc justifications for war. All because the US decided that what took the west a thousand years to learn was not good enough: That the only justification for war is clear and present danger or international consensus on an issue.
