          You're right, turkey is secular and there is no separation of religion from government in Iran, today.
          Jade, read about Iran before the Islamic revolution.......you'll perhaps notice many features now reflected in turkish society.
          The important thing is that the people of turkey recognise which road the country could go down.......and stop it.

            It's true... What indeed am I doing here? I suppose I'm here to soak up everyone's wisdom sort of an internship really

              I've actually done some research regarding Iran's history...It is such a pity that such a country on the way to becoming modern should take such a step backwards...Yet believe me, many people are finding ways to rebel...But still its never the same...I've seen pictures of the late emperor and his wife...She didn't wear a veil...So modern, so forward thinking...What happened?

                They forgot who put them in power and were subsequently taken down

                    You should know this very unpleasent fact about the world we live in... ready?
                    The people who control the monetary system of all nations including resources of the world always hedge their bets!
                    That means they don't make a major move or help anyone unless they are guaranteed to win either way !
                    Which also means they have their man always on each side of any matter of local national or global concern's that could change the bottom line.

                      I see your point...I've thought a lot about the level of corruptness etc. in the world which never ceases to amaze me. The human nature + brain is a fascinating yet intimidating place. As a person who is very interested in physcology, I've done quite a lot of thinking about everything that ranges from politics, to decisions which can in a way all be related to physcology and eventually back to us...
