Turkish Turning Point?

The news from Turkey, even before last week's House committee vote on Armenian genocide: U.S. standing with a key ally since the Cold War is in the cellar. Turks, who feel they stood with the U.S. again and again for decades, now say they see the United States as a major threat.

If this relationship collapses — and a top Turkish general says it's close to that — what will it mean? Just for starters, 74 percent of American air cargo into Iraq goes through Turkey. Seventy-four percent.
