OK, here is my comment
I think that Ataturk was an exceptional man who made HUGE achievements in Turkey. He was progressive and forward thinking and I believe he would be HORRIFIED to discover that years after his death LITTLE has changed and, rather than continue with his great work, Turkey has enshrined his ideas that were relevent to the times but are no longer relevant or appropriate (i.e. army intervention in politics).
If Turkey continue this policy, they will never have another GREAT leader like Ataturk, because the very way they rigidly stick to his ideas prevents another "Ataturk" from rising to power.
Ataturk was not a god, but he was a great leader.

i disagree
the state needs the military control. its Ataturk who established it that way. its safe with the army. no army - no stability.

I like the way Turkey has that sort of "Hive Mind" thing going on.

I totally disagree.....
In any stable society the state leads the military - not the other way round. It is the place of the military to serve the wishes of the state, not to direct the state.
