    I dont think we have to show anyone anything. This is more important than that. I say lets have Bosnia Herzegovina instead.
    sure, if they meet the criteria.

        I don't think so. Asmodean may be a little un-PC in his defense of keeping Turkey out, but his arguments are very largely accepted in the EU.

          Just curious... do you have any limits as to what countries that you would admit to the EU if they met the criteria?

          Would you admit Israel? El Salvador? Madagascar? the US?

          BTW, isn't it true that the only country that actually met the criteria in this round of accession was Malta? Not sure where I read that, but I seem to remember something along those lines.

            I haven't heard anything about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. The EU was underwhelmed by the performance of the new members (especially the performance of some members regarding their ethnical minorities). That's why the new membership bargainings now have a disclaimer "the bargainings may end up with your country not joining the EU".

              I've said this before and while most people probably dont care about my opinion I will say it again anyway. If Israel, Tunisia, Lebanon, Armenia, Georgia or even Libya meet the criteria I would like to see them in EU,but not Turkey. Not in a long time, if ever.

                Why not Turkey, specifically?

                  Because of the past crimes they have committed and still are. Occupation in Cyprus, killing and persecution of the Greeks, Armenians, Nestorians and Kurds. Converting Asia Minor to islam, destrying the byzantine and hellenic heritage, even raping the city names like Ephesos and Constantinople with barbaric Efes ans Istanbul. Disgusting respect for the right-wing, nationalistic, military dictator and creation of the modern Turkish semi-military dictatorship. The nation that gave us the Kebab. I just wouldnt want to see that nation in EU.

                            Yeah, and then there's that awful garlic smell.

                            It's bad enough as it is with the French running the show.

                                Shocking! Converting huge tracts of land to your religion by force is so un-European.
