On the other hand, I notice that it didn't take Turkey long to round up "the usual suspects" after the terrorist bombings there. Evren wrote that his office shook with the 2nd one. I sometimes wish our country could be as efficient at identifying terrorist supporters as Turkey seems to be. But life goes on....since Evren & Ruki haven't made a post, I'd like to be the first to welcome Suzan Unver to the Pelican board...born 11-22-03. May Suzan & Selma's generation handle this tired old world better than we do now. (Selma is Suzan's older sister..) I do think Turkey could play a leading role in this "war on terrorism"...as the first Muslim nation to have been dragged from the dark ages by one of their own, a national hero known as Attaturk...The greatest fear of the terrorists? That other Muslim nations may choose to do the same. The mistake Bush may be making is in thinking that a puppet Government can accomplish this. It takes a real, and home grown leader...as Attaturk was.
