| #9 They have a crap government, but think about the week they have had. The PPK killed around 50 of their 18-year soldiers on Tuesday. Then this happens. 1000, at least, dead. I have three Turkish students in class; they were in a 9/11-style evil mood last week. They'll probably be putting heads on pikes in this one. |

| #1 Lemmee see - the usual suspects said it was Allen's wrath that caused the recent 5.8 (or so) earthquake here on the East Coast, so obviously Allen really hates Turkey. |
