...policy—should happily accommodate the viewpoints of various groups, no matter how intolerant, or “offensive,” they may be. But a community like ours—”pluralistic” in nature and committed to respecting differences—cannot as warmly embrace viewpoints that undermine our deeply-held principles...
...pressure to deal with two pressing issues - the Kurdish conflict in the southeast, and wildly unpopular social security legislation sought by the IMF. Erdogan, a powerful orator, does well as the underdog. He raged publicly against the prosecutor's bid, citing a Koranic verse, "They have ears, but they cannot hear.

The U.S. wants to exploit Africa, especially...
