Re: If EU accepts Turkey, then Turkey owes that to the US and this gives the US another toe-hold in Europe

I'm not as sure as you about Turkey being just another US stooge in Europe --Turkey is not Britain... Contrariwise, I'd say that if Turkey became a full-fledged EU member, the US would LOSE a key partner in the Mideast/Central Asia. For that matter, just imagine how stronger the position of France and Germany would have been, back in March 2003 on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, if Turkey were a European member --would Rumsfeld have dared to put Turkey into "Ol'Europe"?!
