If you want some serious analysis, consider that Turkey has for years been a stalwart supporter of US military, all through the Cold War. Turkey kept quiet about the Middle East events because it has for years wanted to be a member of NATO/EU and to capitalize on business opportunities.<br /><br />What changed was when the US govt dragged Turkey into the fiasco known as Opn Iraqi Freedom, when US actions forced Turkey to be a more active member (since it seemed as if the EU was never going to invite Turkey in anyway, as the apostate Muslim country that it was). Turkey still has the same goals as the US in the Middle East, but I think you're now seeing some frustration from that govt watching the inept efforts of the Bush administration for eight years. <br /><br />And although you don't want to face it, Israel's policy of "pound the crap out of any opposition" - while a favorite for neocons - really doesn't win friends and influence enemies like you'd think.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01031567700911395326noreply@blogger.com
