Every once in a while, Tom Friedman can write a real, in-depth, analysis type of column that is informative. Part 2 of his Letter from Istanbul set of columns is exactly that.
Two items of note.
1. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a bit of a conspiracy theorist and otherwise, a bit troubling.
2. His party is trailing in most recent polls to more secular opponents. Not sure when the next election is, but, while it's nice to have Turkey increasing its influence at this crossroads of the world, let's hope the second wave of that growth is under more secular leadership.
