Protests in Turkey

Posted: 6/2/13 at 9:28pm

Amazing to me that media outlets are ignoring this story. I have a dear friend who lives in Istanbul, so I have been following this quite closely
What's really going on explained here
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

It's all very hard to understand: Turkey. Syria. Libya. Egypt. Arab Springs that put repressive Islamists in power. Fatah/Hamas. A mess in Iraq, which we may or may not have created, but which we certainly didn't do anything to improve. A tinder box in Pakistan. Power struggles in Iran that very few in America can even explain, let alone predict what might happen.

The only constant seems to be that in every one of these countries there are people like this young man who wish only to be free, and very little evidence of that being possible.

I wish the best to this young man, and to your friend.

I also have a close friend in Istanbul. He's in the media and has not been heard from since friday. People are being unlawfully detained. People are being beaten and murdered.

Why is this not major news?

Because its about the people rising up.

They didn't report the Monsanto protests, either.

I wish we could disengage from the Middle East. It may take a couple of hundred years.
