Greenspan to Be Knighted By Queen September 19, 2002, 1:40 PM EDT LONDON -- Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan will receive an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II next week, Buckingham Palace said Thursday. Greenspan, who has helped steer the U.S. economy for 15 years, will be honored for his contribution to global economic stability. Because he is not a British citizen, Greenspan cannot use "Sir" in front of his name, but he can put the letters KBE after his name. The initials stand for Knight Commander of the British Empire. Greenspan was first selected as Fed chairman by Ronald Reagan, another honorary knight, in 1987. The British government announced in August that Greenspan would be knighted. He will receive the honor next Thursday at Balmoral, the royal family's residence in the Scottish Highlands. Others Americans who have received honorary knighthoods include former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former President George Bush. newsday.com

If as you say Europe is a "Judeofascist" continent, why would Europe reject Turkey when Turkey has strong alliances with Isra'El and recieves training from them? By admitting Turkey into the EU, they could effectively encircle the Arab world and contain it, keeping it from marching to the doorsteps of Vienna once again. len
