On January 23, 2007 a standing room only crowd attended a discussion of my new book America & Europe After 9/11 and Iraq: The Great Divide. It was hosted by New York's Foreign Policy Association and you can view my remarks and the discussion here.
The video is about one hour long, and the audience included diplomats, business executives, teachers and interested New Yorkers. Among the press was the Turkish service of the Voice of America. This tape was shown in Turkey later in the week. To tell you the truth, I was surprised at the large turnout. Could it be that people are starting to realize that there is a world beyond Iraq?
The VOA reporter asked what I thought about Turkey joining the EU? That, I replied is an internal EU decision, but that I agreed with Ana Palacio (former Spanish Foreign Minister) who told me that the EU had made a promise to Turkey that it could join the EU, and that promise had to be kept.
