Seeing Through the Storm Clouds

A friend forwarded an interesting post from a Lebanese political blog called Qifa Nakbi. The post takes a look at how the Gaza flotilla debacle fits into Turkey's regional and global ambitions. You can read it here.

Also worth reading is a column by Israeli researcher Anat Lapidot-Firilla, which also takes a smart look at how this all fits into Turkey's regional and global aspirations, particularly its efforts to carve out for itself a leadership role in the Muslim world. You can find it here.
