A lot of what you said in the course of this little exchange was wrong. I am tired of correcting them. Go back and read past posts to see what I am talking about in case you forgot. This exchange is giving me nothing. I would be happy to tell you all I know on the subject if your intention were to learn. It is, obviously, to bait, try to find mistakes, etc. We had this conversation before. I am not interested.without backing it up with logic and fact. If you read the last few posts we exchanged on this subject and you cannot see how I "back it up with logic and fact" I cannot help you. Just go on thinking the Ottoman Empire declared war on Germany in 1943 , that Ataturk was not the real name of the guy, that Ataturk sided with Germany during WWI as if he was the Padishah of the Empire, etc. In short, I am tired of all this bickering. Just because I do not agree with you on the current US foreign policy, you are Googling details, trying to find mistakes in what I post, on a completely different subject, on which you probably see by now that my knowledge surpasses yours by a hundredfold. Which is not surprising, since I did take a shining to the Ottoman Empire at one point & and researched it quite a bit, I lived in Turkey for a while, in which time I learned quite a bit about the culture and history. So what are you trying to do, pestering me for days on a subject you KNOW your knowledge from Googling websites can never reach mine? What if you find a little mistake? Will you be a happier person? So excuse me if I am no longer interested in correcting your hostile posts.
