Who cares about Turkey, the sick eunuch of Europe?
Obviously, we do. Turkey is a member of NATO and has a strategic location, including being adjacent to Iraq. We also have some military bases there. It is also a Muslim country, which supplies the EU with workers. There are about 2.3 million Turks in Germany, including about 500,000 who have gained German citizenship.
Turkey is damned important.
“Who cares about Turkey, the sick eunuch of Europe?”
Everybody in Europe who does not want to have the whole Muslim Middle East drain into Europe the instant Turkey is admitted and Turkish people are all entitled to the open borders immigration and working rights which is part of the Acquis Communautaire.
Turkish admission means that Muslims get to do in Europe what Mexicans get to do in America: flood over the borders, except that in America, at least, it it putatively illegal. In the EU, it will be perfectly legal. Of course George W. Bush never saw a cheap immigrant laborer he didn’t like, and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about cultural and crime issues, which is why he is proposing the same moronic policy for Europe regarding Turkey as he himself has imposed, by non-enforcement of the immigration law, on America. Bush is the Jacques Chirac of America. And it is just as inexplicable why American conservatives continue to love his palsied leadership as it was that French conservatives continued to have great affection for Chirac, in spite of his obvious incompetence. Fortunately France will be getting rid of Chirac soon. But no, France is not going to follow Bush’s idiot suggestion on Turkey. The man has no clue what he is talking about. No, France does not want to be overrun by Turks the same way that Bush has let America be overrun by Mexico. George, just shut up and tend to your own borders.
