Erdogan to Obama: Time to redefine terrorism
2009-01-29
Turkey's prime minister had a message Thursday for US President Barack Obama: redefine terror and terrorism in the Middle East and use it as the basis for a new American policy.
i.e., Hamas = not terrorist; Hezbollah = not terrorist; IDF defending itself = terrorist

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose country
which is held up as a model of moderation
has played a key role in trying to mediate among Israel and Syria and the Palestinians, said Obama's new Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, will be in Turkey for talks Sunday.

"President Obama must redefine terror and terrorist organizations in the Middle East, and based on this new definition, a new American policy must be deployed in the Middle East," Erdogan told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

#3  He's already on it! The term GWOT is no longer used by the administration. I'm sure there's more to follow; Mooslim sensitivity training, Mooslim presidential advisor, Mooslim Congressional Caucus, mandetory arab language training in schools, etc.

#1  Whenever the Arabs used to cut up rough under the rule of the Turks, the Turks would invade the troublesome Arab area and indiscriminately slaughter a few thousand of 'em. This worked and soothed the Arabs for while.

So would this be a new definition of terrorism, or would it be what the Arabs were doing?
