Wow I took 12 posts before the French election celebration thread became a Bush Bash thread. You guys are slipping!

That has nothing to do with Bush bashing. It is completely understandable the current administration furthered Turkey's cause: So Turkey would keep still about Iraq. On could say that at a certain moment in time it was in the US's national interest to support Turkish EU membership.

However, as such, the idea of Turkey in the EU is just wrong. Just because I agree with politicians in general, doesn't mean that I agree with them on every single issue.

But more importantly it's an internal issue for the EU. It's Belgium and Poland who need to discuss whether they want Turkey to join their club. The US as a foreign nation should have no say in that decision, just like the French socialists and the German Social Democrats should shut the *bleep* up about internal matters of the US.
