I seriously wish, on my part, that Turkey had entered the war alongside Hitler and were defeated, in order to be able to get reformed in its true sense. Even today, we're living under the ghost of a post WWI regime and it seems that it'll be long before we (and the world) completely get rid of it.

Yikes! You'd want your country to have been involved in that? I understand the frustration of living with the Turkish state but I'm not sure I could sanction that kind of misery. You'd have to be Ozymandius of Watchmen fame to call that one!

I guess it's a tragedy of hummanity that only through living horror do we improve ourselves, and even then, it can't be hard to argue that the countries involved in WW2 are still horrid by some definitions.
