Robert L. Pollock: Erdogan and the Decline of the Turks - WSJ.com
Thanks for the good article.
It further emphasizes the risks posed by a world in which science creates great opportunities for productive, advanced ways of life that are resisted vigorously (and more vigorously) by religious societies that see myth and mystery their only way to hold onto control of populations that provide them succor.
As such, the disparity between not just rich-and-poor, but enlighted-and-unenlightened will grow.
What the result will be is worthy of discussion now.
Liberals may think they can buy off the unenlightened (e.g. Gaza and Hamas) by letting them have a small country (e.g. Israel), but let's hope the Israelis don't give up so easily!
