Well of course, your answer is very reasonable and true, but please note that I used the words "something of a dictator in his methods" and was in no way comparing him to the likes of Stalin or Hitler!

However, I think you should amend your manifesto because, of course, many of Ataturk's revolutionary laws WERE against public opinion, and you should not deny it (or make enemies of people who speak the facts). It is irrevelent whether or not they were in the wrong.

As you are a supporter of honesty and truth I know you will agree with this

I must confess it is rather strange to have opposing views with someone on Turkish Class without them resorting to insulting me

When he died, he left everything he owned in life to Turkish Nation, except for a minor sum he allocated to some kids he was personally taking care of, at the time.

For lack of further funds, he actually had a request (in his will) from people of Turkia, that Turks should care for the family of Mr. Ismet Inonu (one of his friends, prime ministers and a close comrade-in-arms), should they ever be in need of such support.

That is very commendable - he was a great man. Ama.... what is it's relevance here?

How do you think Mussolini and Stalin were finacially rating, as dictators of his time?

For that, you should give the merit to yourself...

I believe it is compulsory Sui. As we speak, I am fashioning one out of some spare Handsom hair!

He was a patriot, he served the country with best of intentions......But he was not as bright as Ataturk and he made some serious mistakes.
