According to that logic,America should isolate itself from Middle East first.No one will pull out from anywhere just because you said so.
America should isolate itself from the middle east. America should stop all weapons acquisition work with the Turks. I point to the F-35 as an example.
Plus,if you isolate yourself from Middle East,who will you sell your weapons to? Where will you invade to "bring democracy" and how will you stimulate economy.War is a profitable field for America.Dont forget oil too.
We can sell weapons to most nations at top dollar prices for cash on the barrelhead. We can sell weapons to Turkey without allowing Turkey to participate in our weapons programs. But Turkey will have to pay very high prices and pay in cash. Democracy is not meant for Muslims. Turkey is not a democracy. Turkey pretends to be a democracy. Under the AKP the pretense is being dropped. The western hemisphere has all of the natural resources America needs.
Turkey is not like the typical Arab countries in the Middle East.Turks are not Arabs and it was never an islamic regime.The religion of the population and the regime of the country are different things.Thats why Turkey is a unique example because its the only country with a muslim population and also a secular democracy.Turkey also gave women the right to vote before France and Switzerland.I can also say that Turkey is more secular than many EU member countries today.I dont mean its a perfect country.At the end of the day goverments are temporary.Today Akp,tomorrow someone else.Besides not everybody is hard core religious people here.There are many agnostics and atheists.Everybody is free to believe whatever they like.But its hard to change the chronic views of people like you.Because its the image which you have been serviced with.
I was once a great friend to Turkey. I defended Turkey against Armenians. I cheered when Ocalon (sp) was captured. Those days are over. Gul and Erodgan changed my mind. So did Valley of the Wolves. The hostility of the Turkish people for America and Americans is now well known. Time marches on, and the past can never be restored.
well what coalition forces have united with the US to be in afghanistan? czech repbulic and poland... big deal..

LOL - mini countries treated as grand coalition allies? croatia and norway has a population of 3,500,000 and 4,500,000... croatia definitely isn't for putting any troops out in afghanistan.... my cousin who came back totally felt out of place and no reason for putting himself in the line of fire..LOL...
Are you suggesting that there is a price of some sort which determines whether you are part of a coalition? You cannot ask for membership details and then decide for yourself who are and who are not , because you decide so .
