"Look at Turkey's Democracy."

Do you know why Turkey has a democracy? If it hadn't of been for Kemal Ataturk, Turkey would likely be some nasty little dictatorship. It is rare for a dictator, which he essentially was, to ramrod the changes needed to lead his country to democracy. There wasn't a spontaneous uprising of the Turkish people to throw out the Caliphate and hold elections.
