Re: Email about Turkish Brigade

Ed,
I don't and I can't believe that either man (partly quoted in the Douglas
email) literally said such nonsense.  I was always taught that we owed our
lives and futures to the Brits.  Nothing historically has changed to alter
my beliefs--the evidence is too overwhelming.  The Brits have always held
the moral high ground because of their singular unwavering courage in taking
on the NAZI Germans from 1939 through 1945.  Douglas might try reading the
Indexes of Churchill's great books ( as they reference Turkey, MacArthur,
and any other "commentator" about Turkey's past, present, or future role)
and also Churchill's speech in Fulton, MO where he presciently warns about
the "Iron Curtain."

Anyone know where the quotes Douglas wants to use are located?
