This Is Going to Get Out of Hand...

Syrian forces have sent two shells into the Golan Heights the last couple of days, and Israel finally responded with a guided missile--the first time Israel has fired on Syria since 1973.

The situation is going to deteriorate, although the EU lacks the resources to effectively intervene, and I don't see the U.S. doing much either. (Besides, France and U.S. will probably be too involved in Mali). Thus, the day may come when the regional powers, Turkey and Iran, start committing troops. And when that's done, and they have a large military force sitting in Syria, what could they do then?
