Turkey strikes back at Syria after mortar kills five

Turkey motors strikes Syria after a Syria mortar kills five Turkey citizens in Turkey.  With the civil war going on in Syria the fighting is starting to creep closer to the Turkish border.  Turkey called it “the last straw” and NATO is fully behind Turkey in their decision on striking Syria back.  NATO urges Syria to put an end to “flagrant violations of international law”.  Turkey has placed more troops on it’s side of the border that connects with Syria just in case the Syria civil war crosses over into Turkey.

I believe that this is news worthy because Turkey might be forced into a civil war that it does not want to be in and NATO might also be forced into the war.  This could mean that the United States could be redeploying to the Middle East in force to join this conflict. The United States government also sends money to Muslim countries for some reason I am unaware of. But why does the United States still do this when these countries are starting wars and are in wars?

This story was well organized by the start with the lede, it was an eye catcher and it made me want to read more about what happened.  The story had a lot of information and gave all the angles of what is happening about this aggressive act. It also tells the reader what the next step Turkey is going to make and what NATO is planning to do about the conflict of the two nations. This story was over all well organized and well informing.

    This is definitely newsworthy, especially if the US gets pulled into another war. As to why, Stability? We don’t want to see OPEC countries fall into chaos. Better on mechanics, Gage. Keep it up.
