@Sinan:
The Austrains have coffee because they pwned you in 1683 at the gates of Vienna (with the help of the Holy Alliance). I am of course, sure that thousands of lives lost is a small price to pay for some coffee. . You say that Saint Nicholas and Saint Paul were born in Turkey. This is wrong. They were born in Asia Minor, which would not be Turkey before the Turks enslaved/massacred the native Greek populations there.

The reasons I am against Turkish admition are:
It is not ethnically, culturally or geographically European. So it has a little piece of Europe in its territory. So what? Spain has Ceuta. Does that mean it should immediately be given membership of the African Union? And why not admit Israel? I mean, at least half its population is somewhat European. And whilst you're there let's take in Australia, America, Canada, New Zealand. The whole shebang.
Having the EU take in Turkey is like a man who has eaten too much already swallowing a rock. It is too big and too poor. When do you think Turkey will be admitted. 2012? 2015? You are already complaining that you have been waiting too long. Does anyone think that in 10 years Poland, Czeckoslavakia and all these other countries will be fully industrailised, modernised and economically prosperous? What does Turkey have to offer the EU anyway, apart from the sentimental notion "A Muslim country at the 'heart of Europe" and cheap labour, of which it has plenty already?
Finally, the borders which Turkey has with Iran, Iraq and Syria are simply too difficult to police effectively. All those mountains and streams do not make it easy to control. And then what? They can go anywhere in Europe with this idiotic Schengen agreement. A determined terrorist will not find it very hard to slip through and be able to go anywhere they want.
