At the risk of starting a "firestorm"...PING!

I don't have a dog in this fight. But I'm always interested in history. The post-WWI history of the Turks and Greeks is obviously a sensitive one to those whose origins are in that region. Its instructive to the rest of us. Attaturk was the best thing that ever happened in that corner of the world.

Today we have Scot Ritter.... Mark Prentiss?...quick we need a DNA check. Go ahead and deny the Armenian and Greek genocide attempt. Please document something on that next.

Turkey was kicked out of Europe after it's brutal semi-occupation. Say what you want about Turkey's so called secular society...its still 99% muslim. It's the Turk's who are now squeezing every dollar they can out of the US, for the use of it's bases against Iraq.

I have no idea who set fire to Smyrna, and you may well, for all I know, be right that it was the Christians. But I don't think there's much doubt about which side did most of the killing.

I'd give you a thumbs up and a happy bump if you'd just translate Mustafa Sandal's Araba. Lütfen?

Good post a_Turk. I'm bring in my ping list.

If you want on or off the Western Civilization Military History ping list, let me know.

(Didn't ping so much for the history, just for the fun Greek vs Turk flame wars.)

[a_Turk]

ping.

a_Turk .... how does that account of Smyrna square with this?
