My government also murdered 'Bonus Marchers' 70 years ago, lied about leaving MIA's behind in Korea, Viet Nam, failed to support the Hungarian 1956 uprising, has created an FBI and JD which under Clinton behaved like the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti....the list is very long. Nobody with a brain or a heart supports everything this Republic has done. The years of Bubba Rex left me dumbfounded at our dumbness. That notwithstanding, we have been a beacon of freedom to the world and about the best thing going. Many owe us a lot. Says something about the alternatives, n'est ce pas?

The problem is not with anything Anatolian. I have worked with Turks professionally and prefer them to, for example, the typical American college professor.

The central point is that Islam is, really is, dead-dog-sure is, unquestionably is THE ENEMY, THE PROBLEM. Just like Hitlerism/Nazism, Japanese Militarism, it will have to be not just reformed, but annihilated. They have been breeding terrorists from the cellular level up for decades. I ain't holding my breath that anybody anytime soon will be able to deal with the massive numbers and murderous inclinations of that global mob/menace.

I apologize for any American sympathies with terrorists against the Turks. I do not know enough of the K. Ataturk story to comment intelligently.

Again, thank you for the post.

Hey, no problem about the post, I do it to check the pulse, which by the way is indicating a possible heart attack..

Now, the only reason I bring up the US sympathy expressed towards the terrorists who bombed us in the past is to show you the other side of the coin.

As far as isolating an attribute which is shared by 1.5 billion people as the problem, I will have to disagree. We have over 60 million Muslims in Turkey, and maybe a few hundred terrorists. Heck, if all Muslims were a problem, just because of Islam, then the situation would be hopeless, which I am happy to report, it is not..

There is a difference between someone who is Islamic and someone who is an Islamist.

The Turks have been battling the Islamists for quite some time. Most Americans, even after September 11, have no idea what an Islamist is.
