Mass arrests in Turkey of those planning to set off bombs in busy mosques, and to shoot down a Turkish fighter jet over the Aegean in order to blame Greece, both so that the Army, newly restored to popularity, could stage one of its customary coups and restore secular ultra-nationalism in place of the present Islamism.
Yes, those are the options: secular ultra-nationalism in the form of military rule, or Islamism. Such is Turkey, our dear brother in NATO, to which Robert Gates has been haranguing Europe for failing to be sufficiently committed, 19 years after it stopped serving any good purpose and started serving many very bad ones.
And such is Turkey, putatively our dear brother in the EU, at which point we should be subject to the legislative will of the secular ultra-nationalist militarists, of the Islamists, and the Marxist terrorists of Kurdish separatism.
