    Do you have any true liberal friends?

    Go start to have more conversations with them.

    If you did, maybe you wouldn't assume you know what liberals want or believe in.

    Serious answer: in the early cold war we needed forward bases for our then short ranged missles. Around the same time as the Cuban missle crisis they became obsolete - but Turkey was already entrenched as a NATO member.

    Now, love of oil has replaced fear of the Soviets.

    AGREE to your view. >> > and more from me....IN THE PAST, THE U.S. ALSO GAVE PAKISTAN THE BOMB BECAUSE WE GAVE IT TO INDIA (or vice versa). I sense I am mystified but not surprised when I hear of the shit that we/ (this country) created. It's as big a deal as a whore house in Reno.
    I went through JFK and matured when LBJ ran the country into the ground . Only a few people can imagine the intensity of 1968. The Nixon era was intense. Now <I can see we are truly fucked.>

    I do have liberal friends and I myself am a moderate with many liberal points of view as they have. The one thing my liberal friends and I pretty much agree with is not a totally democratic socialized government that is huge, expensive and controls the mass. I make reference to far left which I should have been more clear as radical. Just like there are radical conservatives that take things to extreme as well.
    Most my liberal friends are blue collar senior citizens that don't endorse some of the new wave of dem's/liberals.
    I have kids and grandkids that are both Dems & repub's and they have some of the younger points off views about each and the basic tenants are somewhat different than 50 plus years back and forward some.
    Buts thats ok with me I want everyone to have their own say and political beliefs.
    I grew up totally against segregation of race or religion and was a big believer in free speech as was MLK and others back then. Now from my view point the young radicals are wanting more segregation and less free speech. Very different but I do try and understand that people want their own space and some of the sensitivities towards being politically correct and what people have to say.
    I grew up with a young generation that many were anti establishment/government and very pro free speech with don't tell me what I can and cant say. How things have changed, from my point of view.

    Erdogan sucks and I hope he is removed from office so Turkey can rise up again and become Eagle or some cool Bird!
