Insightful response

Dear Pipes:

Dave's letter about Alexis de Tocqueville is insightful but your comment on it is very educational. Indeed, we should assess if Today's Turkey allows more freedom of speech than it would if it were to be a full fledged caliphate. Things can always be worse than what they are. My note here is by no means an endorsement of Erdogan.
