Aunty Jabou, the Turks remember Bush Sr. and his promises, besides the
Turkish military {which actually holds the power] are very silent about
this and the government senses an imminent overthrow if they go against the
wishes of the Turkish people. It is really funny, the diplomatic tact being
employed in dealing with North Korea was recommended to the administration
in dealing with Iraq. What a duplicitous band of conservatives for lack of
a better descriptive adjective.
