Evangelism got nuttin' to do with it. We've already done our half of the exchange for Brunson and Erdogan decided to double-cross. Now they want the Sufi cleric Fethullah Gülen and "an undisclosed amount of cash" as well. No deal.

Turkey was a strategic partner important enough to force a NATO membership despite that country's complete lack of proximity to the North Atlantic. That was when the Soviet Union wanted access from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean - Erdogan is now dealing with the Russians with regard to the natural gas pipeline that promises to make Turkey rich and naval access is no longer that much of an issue. It's a different world from the Cold War one and the Turks are acting accordingly. So should we.
