Turkey, the West and the Muslim Middle East

Turkey's new leaders promise their government will still be secular, despite the Islamic orientation of their ruling party. We hear about Turkey's relationship with Iran and Iraq, and the anti-Americanism in public opinion. Will Turkey still be a “bridge” between the west and the Muslim world? Also, an update on Iran's nuclear program. And, is Pakistan facing  "moment of truth?"

Turkey's new leaders promise their government will still be secular, despite the Islamic orientation of their ruling party. We hear about Turkey's relationship with Iran and Iraq, and the anti-Americanism in public opinion. Will Turkey still be a "bridge" between the west and the Muslim world? Also, the IAEA on Iran's nuclear program and, on Reporter's Notebook, two exiled leaders may return to Pakistan and President Musharraf may give up his uniform.
