JB,

It's also what happens when that dictator is an Islamic Fundamentalist. This is very dangerous for Europe. Turkey is a powerful country with a powerful Western-styled military. Unlike many Arab countries that have minimal training, Turkey's army knows how to fight in a high OPTEMPO environment where operations go on 24x7. Their Air Force is also top notch, with the best western planes. Countries like Greece have to be worried at this.

What it is is another indication that the Islamic world is at a dangerous crossroads where fundamentalists and radicals are trying to take over. We need to support the moderates wherever and whenever we can.
