I don't have an opinion on EU membership for Turkey. If Turkey satisfies the criteria, then why not? It's really not a U.S. matter so I'll just watch.

LeftEyeNine, the turkey joke might get really old, but if you've ever had a well prepared thanksgiving dinner you will understand the American fondness for referring to the bird when ever we get the chance. By the way, there was some effort to make the turkey our national bird (by Benjamin Franklin), but it was rejected in favor of the bald eagle.
