Are you advocating that US invade Turkey next in order to secure a good water supply? Sorry, but I don't see your point. As for the links you posted, yes there was quite a bit of unease in downriver countries when Turkey was about to finish most of GAP - the cascades of giant dams on Tigris and Euphrates - but all parties came to an agreement on uninterrupted water supply, and the tensions eased. That was a couple of years ago. You might like to note that your source that claims "Turkey and Syria are in a serious escalation of hostilities" is from the year 1997. Besides, a country can do whatever it pleases with the rivers on its own soil, and Syria and Iraq are no military match for Turkey anyway. So it is not as if they can do much about it. Syria and Iraq have other things occupying their minds in recent years, anyway, thanks to Bush et al.
