American Thinker: Talking Turkey: My Own Speech in a Muslim Country

"Talking Turkey: My Own Speech in a Muslim Country
By Joel J. Sprayregen
Last week, I gave my own provocative speech in a Muslim country. The occasion was a conference of the Turkish think tank ARI (Movement for Civil Society) in Istanbul, that fabulous city straddling two continents plus countless centuries. The topic was: 'The Security and Diplomacy Role of NATO in the 21st Century.' Readers understand that I am long on security and short on diplomacy. I was blunt in what I told the assembled diplomats, officials, academics and journalists from many countries, joined in the auditorium by members of the Turkish public."
