Yes, I am relaxed [img]smile.gif[/img] and I agree that a direct Turkey-U.S. conflict is very unlikely. I was wondering more about what side the U.S. would take if Turkey and Iraqi Kurds got into a larger scale conflict. Being caught in the miidle of something like that sounds like the proverbial rock and a hard place.
Also, I am far from an expert on NATO, but I cant help to wonder where detaining the Turkish troops falls in the legal scope of things. Turkey is also a NATO member, so if the U.S. would to fire the first shot, or take the first prisoners, would not the other NATO members be obligated to defend Turkey?
Alas, my imagination gets the best of me just about every time!
