Of course I am not defending jailing journalists. But there is something a little deeper here. During 2013 and 2014 there was an unprecedented political power struggle between Erdogan and Gulen ( http://www.city-journal.org/

Someone I know died from Alzheimer after suffering like 4.5 years. To me, this is one of the most horrific diseases to die from. It gives a great deal of suffering to people around you as well. I remember recently reading about a link betwe

"Swiss population would like money to be produced and distributed solely by a public organisation working for the common good, such as the National Bank." This is where the biggest fallacy lies.

Consider that even the mighty Japan, who was ahead of US on electronics lost the game on computers and software. Soviets, where science and technology were fully controlled by state were bound to lose the fight on consumer centric products.

Is there anybody ISIS does not fight? Turkey lost 130 people with suicide bombings in last 6 months. What were you expecting? Entering Syria with tanks? It is easy to talk from an armchair when you are far away from the fire.
