We have no difficulty with Ahmadinejad – Erdogan
Warning to Europe not to ignore Turkey's strengths
"Erdogan's partiality towards Ahmadinejad may surprise some in the west who see Turkey as a western-oriented democracy firmly grounded inside Nato. It has been a member of the alliance since 1952. It will be less surprising to Erdogan's secular domestic critics, who believe the prime minister's heart lies in the east and have long suspected his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development party (AKP) government of plotting to transform Turkey into a religious state resembling Iran."

I like Erdogan. If the U.S. were smart about its foreign policy it would strengthen its ties with Turkey and with Iran, and leave Israel to fend for itself. But we're not smart.
