Talking to every body does not necessarily mean smiling to every body. And at times talking is useless. Thinking is wiser. Tayip Erdogan, the last errant chameleon of the Middle East, obviously failed to understand what basics in politics are. He was apparently not well equipped for such a post in that country, and his 'studies' in the Imam Hatip pseudo-universities could hardly be a profitable stuff.

For a certain period, Tayip Erdogan oscillated like Foucault's pendulum from a dark and uncultured conservatism (trying to penalize adultery did cost a severe setback in this regard) to an enlightened merge with Europe – something that one would have good reasons to call as 'revisiting of 500 years of East-West relations', 'reconsideration of the European cultural colonialism' and 'ultimate rejection of the Islamic theological barbarism that spread darkness throughout Islam and brought the Ottoman Empire to a dead end'. Quite unfortunately, the task was too great and Tayip Erdogan is too small.

He is actually the smallest and meanest political figure Turkey has encountered in its long democratic history. And because he is too small he certainly imagined that he is very big. This was then his first grave mistake. Without truly and sincerely committing Turkey into something great, he tried to engage this key European, Asiatic, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern country into many centrifuge dynamics.

Turkey wants to adhere to the EU, and the Turkish prime minister travels to … Khartoum (!) to meet the barbaric thugs and the criminal figures of the most hated and most oppressive organization of the world, the Arab League! One would find reasons for such a trip; for instance, fighting for the rights of the oppressed non-Arabic majority of Sudan, eventually imposing NATO Muslim (Turkish) army in Darfur as peace keeping force to protect the massacred populations of that African nation against the bloodthirsty janjaweed militias of the Sudanese Islamist 'President' .

It would be truly positive for Turkey to present the country as the Vicar of Freedom and Democracy in the East. It would truly increase Turkey's credentials in Brussels. But this was probably astrophysics for the former Imam Hatip schoolboy Erdogan.

Even before that dark episode of the Modern Turkish History, which is a real smack to the face of civilized Turkey and a permanent insult to Kemalist ideology and foreign policy strategy, Erdogan had defamed Turkey by … inviting Palestinian terrorists of Hamas to Ankara, where they held discussions with the notorious Abdullah Gul, the Saudi-subsidized foreign minister of EU candidate Turkey.

Well, in addition, Tayip Erdogan's agenda includes common planning with Putin, another wholeheartedly committed democrat! In striking contrast with traditional Turkish – Ottoman – Eastern Roman interests that go back to the times of Slavs and Abars, Erdogan forgave Russian oppression of his coreligionists from Moscow to Chechnya, overlooking at the same time Russian discrimination of millions of Turkic populations stretching from the Urals to vast Yakutia (Eastern Siberia), who – all – aspire to liberation.

Large enough, Erdogan's agenda encompasses a good deal of Anti-Americanism that is expected to work at the time the US needs its easternmost NATO ally more than any other time: prior to an attack against the tyrannical ayatollahs of Iran. When the Turkish Prime Minister's main preoccupation focalizes on the protection of Turkey's worst and greatest enemy, Iran, then it is high time for some people in Istanbul and in Anatolia to conclude that a renegade should not be tolerated anymore.

Ascribing Turkey to centrifuge forces and heteroclite scenarios that are in striking opposition to the historical interests of Anatolia, the landmass that has been the nucleus of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Ottoman Caliphate, and Turkey for no less than 1700 years, Tayip Erdogan reveals his real face: that of sworn enemy of Keml Ataturk, Progress, Democracy and Justice. As puppet of the worst enemies of Turkey, Erdogan works actively for the country's ultimate breakdown.

All Turks must take immediate action, and liberate the country from that pestilence. And because of Turkey's great importance for NATO and the US, for Europe, Israel, and the civilized West, all those who fight Palestinian terrorism, Islamic obscurantism and Russian totalitarianism must join forces in helping the democratic opposition of Turkey rise to power again; this can be done in alliance with reasonable deputies of Erdogan, who do not want to follow him in his precipice and perdition. The military need not intervene this time; the Turkish people and the majority of the deputies can manage it.

The West's best bet in eliminating barbarism in Asia is the rise of a democratic Turkey – top ally of the US and Israel against Iran. A real, vivid and dynamic Turkey that would be free of Erdogan's pestilence!
