Scuds you know a couple of people from Turkey and you think you got the whole country figured out? You think Turkey is a hell hole?

Compared to what?

The country just to the South of us has regions just as bad as anything you described in Turkey. US citizens get raped in jail there every year. There are regions the Mexican government has no control over. No Turkey is not the US; But if you randomly started picking countries from a hat THAT YOU HAD TO LIVE IN, and Turkey was the first one that came up, I would be inclined to pick it. A country in Africa, the Middle East, South America (you go live in Columbia or Ecuador), etc... might be the very next pick...

It is a matter of degree with all these countries.

We just happen to be damn lucky.

We have to figure out how Al Q is getting funded and gets stuff transported to them. We know its Middle east money, we got to infilitrate and this will take time. We run them out of Afghanistan, and now they are stronger in Pakistan which has nukes. Not good. Bottom line: it requires lots of money, communication and transport. This is no small operation. All these countries have to get on the same page about this group. They deal in nothing but death, destruction, and the complete inhibition of any individual liberties. And every country they gain power goes through immense suffering.
