43 killed, 100 injured in Turkey car bombings near Syria border

Sure would hate to see this escalate into Turkey. I lived there as a child and still very much like and admire the Turkish people. Even in 1961 it was a thriving, energetic, and magical place. Many cherished memories.

I agree with you, Hunter. I went from Egypt to Turkey and was amazed at just how different the two countries and cultures were even though they followed (for the most part) the same belief system. While Egyptian people were quite often rude and we encountered more than enough thieves and belligerent jerks to last a life-time, the people or Turkey were gratious, kind and always greeted everyone with a smile. I really hope the bloodshed can stay in the countries that are being run by the jerks that crave it.

Ankara has since become a rear base for the Syrian rebellion

Globalwatcher. This is a tragedy and a huge aggavation to what was already a complete mess and you are thinking about track and field?

Very sad... as this mess spills over into Turkey which was one of the safest Islamic countries in the world I can only see things going downhill from there.

I agree. I have been following the unrest Syria for years that is now spilling over to others.

HonestDictator Very sad... as this mess spills over into Turkey which was one of the safest Islamic countries in the world
