Before any one gets too excited about the Turks, it is necessary to a

issue of the Armenian genocide of 1917, which to date Turkey has not

Greatness, and morality are the products of individuals, who go
against the prevailing 'truths'. Many never become wealthy, and many
die in obscurity. Like the ancient Hebrews, we execute our prophets.
We may not behead them, or nail them to trees, but all too often they
are belittled or ignored, at least until they wander away, in despair.

Perhaps the brits learned, and learned the hard way that when a

warfare. This is particularly likely if the agressor nation can
technically overpower the defence capabilities of the defender...
patriotism can also be part of an underground war.
