Re: A magazine poll a year ago found that French opposition to Turkey's entry had risen to 72 percent, from 58 percent two years earlier. More recent polls suggest that Europe's resistance has not abated. French officials have promised a referendum on any plan to approve Turkish entry into the European Union. But then, the French are so whimsical! What your article doesn't say is that those French most hostile to Turkey's EU membership are the same ones who fought desperately against Algeria's independence in 1962... Had they prevailed, today's Europe would be graced not with an additional 70 million Turks but with 35 million Muslim French-Algerians scattered across France from Dunkerque to Tamanrasset.... Go figure! Gus
