In a bit of a conflict on this one, on the one hand 'overthrow of democratically elected government' doesnt sit well with me, while on the other hand the idea of dirsuption of the creation of an islamist country (sharia law and what have you) sounds positive.
While I know Turkey has its many failings, it does seem to be the template that would suit 'the west' best & could well be what is best for the populations of the newly liberated 'Arab Spring' countries. That is a secular democratic countries made up (primarily, I gather) of muslims.
Ok who are we to tell them what is best for them, but at the same time can there really be women in those countries who think they'd be better off in a strict islamist state?? Are they so brainwashed by religion that they need saving from themselves??, or is it a fear thing??
