understandable..
Turkey is volatile.
wars.

not just Turkey.. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Palestine too. does not take much from me to wonder
about our complicity in the sad situation in the whole of the middle- East.

factor in that last Iraq War (& Afghanistan). what did the U.S. think what would happen? the U.S.
elected an idiot for president & the world played along.

I think of it this way.. if one can critique the chaos in Turkey, what would they say of the U.S.?
After the election on 2000, we had peace & prosperity, paying down the Fed deficit that should have
been retired (but Bill got bitch- slapped for bonking Monica).
8 short years later we were on the edge of a depression. please explain how in the fuck could that be?

Turkey, of course, does not have the financial resources for corrective action. we do. we get to play
with other people's money. the U.S. national debt.. +$35 trillion.

personally I do not like Erdogan. he's much the Muslim extremist I do not feel comfortable with, but
then again I am not Turkish.
