Wow, that was a lame title. Anyway, in case you hadn't heard, there was a terror attack on the US Embassy in Turkey this morning. I'll defer to Jim Geraghty (follow the first link) for perspective on Turkey, as he lived there for a while.
I toured Turkey in the summer of 2004. There was a NATO summit in Istanbul at the time, and the city was full of posters that, translated, said something like "NATO, BUSH, F*** YOU!" So it was kind of like being in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of DC. There was one thing that did surprise me, though (below the fold).
There is actually a fake Trojan Horse at Troy that you can climb up inside.
