    or you rest in peace..
    ....

    Indonesia, Malaysia, most of the Gulf countries. Its amazing that you find a strong correlation between education/standard of living and how you perceive them as "peaceful"

    Not especially... Capitalism has serious flaws but look at the corruption in former communist countries, dictatorships and monarchies.

    Not diplomatically or officially, which is what I assume you mean, but I doubt anyone in the west wants to see the coup fail.

    [rQUOTEr]Turkey appoints acting military chief, whereabouts of predecessor unknown -official

    Turkey appointed the head of its First Army, a group of divisions within its land forces, as acting chief of military staff on Saturday while the whereabouts of the head of the armed forces was unknown, a senior Turkish official told Reuters.

    Umit Dundar was appointed after the head of the military could not be accounted for in the chaos of an attempted coup by rebels in the armed forces. Local media reports said earlier the chief of staff had been taken hostage.[/rQUOTEr]

    Nice 1980's jeans... Seriously did he not get the memo, shirts are required during a coup. I am sure someone can scrounge up a Jordache shirt for him.

    If the military had fully gotten behind the coup then there'd be a brighter future for Turkey, unfortunately they didn't so the coup failed and they'll almost certainly fall into full on dictatorship now.

    Sometimes you can't save people from themselves.

    That said, the Turkish people absolutely deserve what is coming to them. When things get bad, they'll get no sympathy from me whatsoever. They had their chance, and they embraced a dictatorship.

    if the coup succeeded, turkey might turn into the next iraq or syria. i think people would've learned already dictatorship is better than instability. outside forces should just leave them alone.

    1-Erdogan and his supporters & his opposition from other political parties were united against this coup rallied by the nation

    2-when he is labeled by a punch of hypocrite idiots as a dictator by it self turned to be a compliment

    3-destruction of Turkey is one of their main wishes

    4- this day is historically glorious

    5- ISIS Western edition enthusiastic to install their Khalifa of choice over ME had been postponed for good

    This coup was never going to be successful, don't let your blind hatred for Islam / ISIS or anything related to it blind you. Yes, Erdogan has all t he signs of becoming a dictator but he was elected and has the people's backing. Would not have turned out well if the coup had succeeded. Other countries would've meddled with the process of new elections and if any group didn't like it, it could be another Egypt.

    It could even have turned into a bigger bloodbath as Erdogan would not have accepted defeat just like that. Turkey could easily turn into a warzone if part of the military on Erdogan's side and the defectors let's say on the other side do not want to let up. So it's good it stopped early, for the people it's a victory and people in Lebanon, Syrians and Arabs in general are rejoicing for the failed coup so that should tell you something..
