They should. The euro-racists have had them jumping through hoops with the promise of EU membership for decades now, and the Turks have done nothing but ask "how high?".

So you thinks it's just, reasonable or decent for the Europee-ons to dangle EU membership under Turkey's nose for three solid decades and, after Turkey has met every requirement, often even while the bar was being moved on them, and mean time being one of the West's strongest allies in the cold war (more stalwart at least then a few Western nations) and before Indonesia the world's only majority Islamic democracy, the only Islamic nation openly allied with Israel -- one could go on -- to essentially tell the Turks, "never mind"?

I have plenty of problems with Turkey, but they deserve what they have well earned. (If they want to be part of Europe. Whether that's wise is another matter.)
