We'd unite, perceiving ourselves only on the scale of Human Beings.

Expect a few vague and empty words if it happens. If W occupies the White House at the time, expect him to smile and say nothing while his base crows about Turkey's opposition to 'Islamo-fascism and the useful idiots in Europe'.

So, The US turns against Turkey because it has (yet another) coup and so Turkey chums up with Russia and Iran to take control of the Middle East, imprison Europe (his words), dominate the sources of oil and form some kind of suspicious partnership with China. And then WW3! Alarmist, hyperbolic nonsense. An alien invasion is more likely. I find it interesting how western commentators have turned on the (rabid, extremist, ugly) secularists lately. I think they're frustrated with the success of the AKP, and they're making it public. I also think AK should just back down from the presidential competition, and find a safe pair of hands who will uphold the constitution and calm the situation. Why are they so determined to hold the presidency? They need to recognize the role of the president as a constitutional balance to a majority government. It's unlikely that AK has any extremist agenda, though they DO have a history - a very recent one, trying to criminalize adultery. But they need to recognize that they are the government of the whole country, and that they are answerable to each and every citizen. Is it really in AKP supporters' interest to have a party loyalist as president? Hmm.
