If the United States does decide to wage a unilateral war against Saddam Hussein, Turkey -- which shares a border with Iraq -- is envisioned as a prime staging area for the attack. Which makes the scathing remarks Friday by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the leader of Turkey's ruling party, more than a little disconcerting for Bush and his band of happy warriors. Ergodan accused the Americans of being hypocrites, saying that while removing weapons of mass destruction is a worthy goal, it should be applied to all countries. Asked if that included the United States, Ergodan replied, "I meant all the countries in the world."
