...step back "because democracy is working," but he insisted that the ruling party was to blame for the crisis because it chose to nominate a "religious President." If the army fails to "deal with extremist ideology," he added, "Turkey could become a swamp that threatens not only the region but Europe and the U.S. as well...
...Prime Minister, of course, turned out to be disastrously wrong. By 2003, Iraq was already a ruined nation, long incapable of sustaining a sophisticated WMD program.

"My father didn't realize that he was moving his family into a region whose economic base was, in fact, being devastated," says Chai. That economic anxiety, plus growing unrest among Native Americans on nearby Indian reservations, only deepened a long-standing resentment of outsiders and nonwhites.
