In my mind there is very little difference between the French and the Turks in this build-up to the Iraq war. The French have been our main impediment and enemy in the diplomatic side of the buildup; and the Turks have been our main impediment and enemy in the military side of the buildup.

Both are former quote "allies" who have in fact acted as out-and-out enemies in the last few months and both are going to see major negative repercussions in the months that follow as victorious US forces defeat Saddam and the French and the Turks reap the whirlwind they have sowed.

Turkey do Not cross Your border into Iraq

The French have been schmoozing the Turks to get them to thumb their noses at the U.S., dangling the EU carrot in front of them. But ain't no way the French or the Germans (or the Greeks, for that matter) would let Turkey into the EU. Bunch of lying hypocrites, the French. I sincerely hope the Americans who keep that country afloat with their tourism billions will choose to spend their vacations in beautiful Spain and Eastern Europe.
