well who really knows what´s going on behind the scenes...
so every thing is possible in theory. but then again every body (execpt turkey i guess) knows they did had never a chance to become a EU member. nor will they become a EU member in Future. someone should really them the truth. never mind what they may do or try they do not have the chance of a snowball in hell to join. for example there for you would have to kick austria out of EU first. because austria will never let turkey in. not in 50 years... and there are other countries too who oppose them.

*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***

Never thought I would see the when Sarko and Netanyahu would be the leaders of the Free World.

The picture that is beginning to clearly emerge is that of a person raised in Muslim counries and immersed in Muslim and African culture. He has no feel or understanding or real relationship with Western culture.

He speaks no European languages, despite his expensive education, and doesn’t understand the role of Western Europe in forming the Judeo-Christian heritage that is the underpinning of America and her values.

He seems ignorant of Western civilation, history, and culture in general, not to mention his ignorance about the Founding Fathers, the Founding Documents, and American culture. His point of reference in never American, or Western European values and culture, bot that of the world of Islam.

We are in big trouble.

GWB pushed for Turkey in the EU as well, think it has something to do with the fact that they’re a NATO member already.
