Those of you who read my post on Turkey yesterday and haven't read the New Sisyphus piece on Turkey as well should do so [thanx to emailer J Joseph]. It's here.

Turkish opposition to the Iraq War cost American lives. By delaying the arrival of the 4th Infantry Division, Turkey made both the war and the following occupation more deadly and more dangerous. Turkey has proven to be a faithless and fair-weather friend. It seems our friend was right: they hate us and wish us only ill.

He sees the "new" Turkey as an opportunity. Interesting as always.
