Re: Most Europeans are opposed to Turkey's admission to the EU. Granted, but most Europeans are unwilling to wage wars and crusades against Arab/Muslim countries all the same. Even Italians, Britons, Spaniards, Poles,... --whose governments sent troops to Iraq-- have demonstrated against the Iraq war and against their countries' alliance with the US in waging it. So what? That's not the reason why Europeans are against Turkey's admission. Europeans are resentful of Arab, African, Turkish immigration and willing to fix the "immigration problem" at home, but not abroad... There are several components to Europeans' reluctance.......one of those components is racism. Turks are some of the most despised people in Germany and Sweden although official policy says otherwise. What European public opinion failed to grasp about Turkey's EU bid is the impact it will have on future wars. Harnessing Turkey to the European Union will make it all the more difficult for Judeofascists to draw Europe into their Middle East crusades. I don't think that's right. Turkey is seen as being different. Its a Muslim country but also the seat of a Christian religion. Its Muslim but secular. Its always looked more to the West than the East. I think its entry will make little difference on that front. Besides, Europeans already have shown a reluctance to enter into ME crusades as you noted above. In the meantime, I think many European nations could face a major influx of Turks if Turkey is admitted now. Maybe in ten years the Turks will have raised their standard of living to a point where it will discourage a Diaspora to the West but until they do, I think the current status should be maintained. ted
