Interesting article in the Times about contemporary Turkey as a possible model for a post-Mubarak Egypt: more imbued with Islam, but democratic and far more economically vibrant. I think the piece somewhat discounts the pre-1980 Kemalist tradition as the (perhaps now slightly paradoxical) underpinning of modern Turkey. But interesting nonetheless and makes very good points.
