While the campaigns have not officially begun, election season in Turkey is heating up. Will Turkey's next president be an Islamist?

If there is one success story since 9/11, it has been the efforts to combat terror finance. If military action is sometimes akin to conducting surgery with an axe, efforts to dry up sources of funding are like wielding a scalpel.

As Recep Tayyip Erdogan approaches the end of his first decade of rule, the question for American and European policymakers should not be whether Turkey should join the European Union, but whether it even belongs in NATO.

The fight against terrorism is no closer to success today than it was a decade ago when, in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks, President George W. Bush declared a Global War on Terrorism.

Can the frayed relationship between the United States and Turkey be repaired?

If rule-of-law and liberalism is to be preserved in Turkey,the prime minister who must change his mindset.

Turkish prime minister Erdogan has turned his back on democracy andhas moved toward Russian prime minister Putin's dicatorship.

Turkey has changed from a secular nation to an Islamic republic that is more aligned to Iran than to the democracies of Europe, shifting it from an American ally to an enemy.
