I will go to my grave believing that taking Imus off the air was a huge mistake. This will prove to be a missed opportunity to generate dialogue about many subjects that are currently being discussed only in the privacy of our homes.

I will go to my grave believing that taking Imus off the air was a huge mistake. This will prove to be a missed opportunity to generate dialogue about many subjects...
...Islamic banker as head of the central bank. Every day the papers carry a report of an AKP official in some town doing something outlandish - men and women being segregated at a municipal event, a swimming pool banning women from entering with their young sons (because they are male), bars being closed down to discourage alcohol consumption...
