Dread I know that Turkey is strategic in that it allows use of its air space which alone is vital to the Iraq war.

I know that she has a powerful military presence in a region where America can ill afford an ally to Iran of this stature.

Whether the "friendship" is strong or otherwise she is vital to American interests.

BTW don't for a second conclude I endorse Fisk. His views, in the main, are anti-West and loaded with conspiracy theories.

As a Jew I must also look at Israel's reluctance on the Armenian question which considering Jewish history is not only ironical but stresses the importance of Turkey.

Just my opinion.
