A parasitic microbe commonly found in cats might have helped shape entire human cultures by manipulating the personalities of infected individuals.LiveScience
turkish pm met with iranian president yesterday and foreign minister published an article in washington post sharply critisizing united states for turning their head away from the carnage.
puplic opinion and press are vehemently against israel calling an outright genocide by quoting olmert's own words on it saying (olmert) "israel will not stop until they uproot the population supporting hezbullah and get rid of all the muslims in lebanon who wants to attack israel".
these are heavy words in muslim society even though turkey has pretty good relations with israel conducting joint military exercises with idf and letting iaf to train in large airspace turkey has.
turkey wants to fill the vacuum left by non complaining and inactive arab leadership and ready to send troops to lebanon if an international force can be defined by un.
paradox also is, relatively slow turist season is now in a better place due to flux of mass number of israelis and vast number of middle class lebanese. staying in different resorts of course.
strengly, there is also some kind of hidden admiration towards israel, wanting and pressuring the government to act like israel against pkk, a maoist independence movement kurdish party, by nationalists, invading norhern iraq. of course that doesn't go well with united states whos' only pride and joy in iraq is the relatively prosporus and quiter northern iraq.
john, maybe you already read it, but here is a link to english version of 'zaman' (time) news paper of turkey. its a center right paper but known for serious journalism without sensationalism. today's editorials are particularly on the subject. zaman
