There's voting and then there's voting. The Turkish Parliament has voted against letting American soldiers onto their soil. The Turkish stock market is voting that the Parliament has its head up its ass. In the last couple of weeks their market had been assuming that a deal would be made which would include huge amounts of direct US aid and even more loans as a quid pro quo for letting us stage troops north of Iraq. Now the prospect of such an aid package seems bleak indeed, and in the first seven minutes of trading on Monday the market dropped 10%, and interest rates on their bond market skyrocketed. I think the Prime Minister is going to have some questions to answer. I must say that it's rather difficult to feel much sympathy for him. denbeste.nu
