Turkey has recently departed from its traditional role as a secular state. It's slowly becoming a tiger by the tail for NATO.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Maybe the Turkish government think that the Simpson's are real and not a comedic cartoon that rational people don't take seriously? Maybe they think their people are unable to make that discrimination and will copy Homer's antics?  :o
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Indeed.  The direction they've taken the last few years has been worrying.  Their naval confrontation with Israel over Gaza left a bad feeling in my stomach.
