August 1964, Turkish warplanes dropped napalm bombs on Kokkina in the Tillyria peninsula. hitting residential areas and a hospital.

Ten years later, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and has occupied almost 40 percent of the island ever since.

Should this behavior of Turkey described in this article surprise anyone?

You know . . . I can remember when most conservatives were rabidly pro-Turkish and anti-Greek and -Armenian. That was back when Armenian terrorist organizations wanted to annex eastern Turkey to the Armenian SSR, when Greek Cypriot leader Archbishop Makarios III was "the Castro of the Mediterranean," and the John Birch Society was warning of "Grecophiles" in Congress and claiming that those trenches with dead bodies in Cyprus were actually filled with Turkish victims of Commie Greek Cypriots.

Anybody besides me remember?
