You too, Sarmatian. Do you want a union with Syria? With Libya? They are as close to you as Ireland is. Yet I presume you don't. Which means that you, as well as I, have a mental and political line beyond which we think that there is just too much different history and different customs.
i would love to see turkey in the EU.

in my view they have earned it for their party in NATO during the cold war, the west would also benefit from what can be best described as the obama effect, and most importantly it would help make the EU broad and shallow, which is the way i like my supra-national governance.
