    Interesting that they would purge so many of the education ministry. I suppose hes trying to purge the Gulen influences or something? Certainly a dark time for secularism in Turkey.

    And to think I saw some Turkish expats turning up their collective nose at the idea of a coup. I suppose it's easy to rest on your ideals thousands of miles away.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Erdogan is determined to destroy Gülen, even blackmails America by surrounding an American base in Turkey. It's going to be interesting to see what the leaks prior to the coup got to show. Must be something there because Turkey completily shut wikileaks down.
