Weekly Reflection 10/4



               I must admit, and I am sure that many in this class agree, that current events in the international realm have sort of taken a back seat this week.  The news is inundated with domestic politics, considering the first Presidential debate that occurred this evening.  Not to mention the work that this and my other classes demand.  Although my country group has worked very cohesively thus far, there was some added work in being named the head of this particular brief.  But, as always, BBC World came through with a thorough article on recent fighting across the Syria-Turkey border.  If such events continue, I believe it could mark a turning point for the fighting in Syria.  The article has mention that Turkey officials have contacted NATO and the UN about this issue.  An increase in international work about the conflict could have some quick and decisive results.  I’d bet that NATO would not stand by if killings continue to occur in one of their nations.  It’ll be interesting to see how international organizations will respond to these occurrences.
