"The gravest danger to the survival of Western civilization, and Europe in particular, would be a concatenation of Islamist triumphalism and American isolationism. The primary goal of European statesmanship now should be to prevent the predominance of either of these pathologies."
What about Turkey???
Why is it being sacrificed to the Islamist agenda?
Why are the US and EU both supporting the creeping Islamization of that key anti-Islamist pillar in the Middle East ?
Instead of supporting the Islamist agenda (financed with loads of Saudi money) in the name of some flawed concept of democracy (the same flawed concept that brought Hamas to PA rule!), the US and EU should immediately encourage an intervention by Turkey's military in order to stop the Islamists in their tracks.
Because, the army - traditional guardians of Ataturk's reform and country's secularism - is the only power that is able to stop the Islamists.
This must be done before it's too late!
And before all of you will start blaming each other,inquiring about "Who lost Turkey?"
