Duck and cover!
Sunday, March 2nd, 2003 03:11 amI am definitely smoking too many cigarettes. This thread on anti-terrorism precautions made me cough my guts up laughing.
Actually, a silver lining in the cloud of impending global conflaration is that I don't have to worry about my health any more. So I polished off half a bottle of whiskey and a couple of packets of Winston Superlights? (Damn, I forgot once again that I'm supposed to be boycotting American goods) So I'm heading for cirrhosis and lung cancer? Who cares now America is undecided with regard to bombing Iraq first, or getting rid of us disloyal Turks first, and dealing with the rest of the Middle East later. Yes folks, the Turkish parliament has just voted against letting Americans use Turkey as an invasion base and using Turkish soldiers as mine-clearing devices.

Turkey, America and Iraq
Sunday, March 2nd, 2003 11:23 pmThe sleepless nights have paid off: my page on the position of Turkey vis va vis America and Iraq is now up at The Center for Co-operative Research. Well, I say "my page" - I wrote about two -thirds of it.
