Good stuff! Erdogan calls for Israel to be excluded from the UN

There are plenty of stories making the rounds in Turkey about Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rage. The son of a sailor from Istanbul's working class neighborhood of Kasimpasa who made it all the way to the top of the Turkish government, Erdogan has always been a bit of a Kabadiyi, a ruffian or hothead. He is someone who never avoids a fight -- whether it be on the streets, on the football pitch or now, years later, in politics.

This political leader has never made much of an effort to keep his exuberant temper in check. Quite the opposite in fact. "Anger is an art of rhetoric," Erdogan once said in a TV interview in response to a question about his character. "This idea of showing the other cheek -- we don't have that. I am not some kind of patient sheep."

This is why Turks either love him or hate him. Mostly they admire him and never more so than after his performance at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.
