Hah! France is practiacally a Muslim country, when compared to other large EU countries! They ought to get along with Turkish membership like a house afire! Padraic. I think it would be wonderful if Turkey were to eventually join. The EU would certainly have a moderating influence on the more egregious Turkish policies and help stabilize a secular Islamic state. Over time, perhaps, we could even see a Mediterranean addendum to the EU with peaceful, democratic, stable Islamic and Christian countries joined together. :-)))))))))))))))) Seriously now, I *do* want to see a democratic Turkey joining EU. That would mean that Turkey has reached a high democratic level, which is nice! The problem is how long it will take for the Turkish society/political class to reach that level... After that, I'd be glad to see them in EU. That's about in 25-50 years from now. -- http://gogu.enosi.org/index.html http://www.romclub.4t.com/rabin.html E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!
