What is Hanson smoking. He's gotta be kidding...agendized writers are frequestly useless.
"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood..."
minor quibble: "the Arab world's first true democracy" isn't Iraq, it was Lebanon's, prior to the PLO ingress, the civil war, and Syrian occupation.

Amsterdam (AINA) -- The Turkish government is planning to sell 101 hectares of land in the Assyrian village of Bote, located in south-east Turkey. The land was confiscated in 2000, when more than 50 historical houses in Bote were destroyed, without permission from the Assyrians, and the Church of St. Mary converted into a mosque. The Assyrians have not been compensated for their houses and land and no explanation has been given by the Turkish government for the illegal confiscation of their properties. The Church of St. Mary still remains a mosque.
