It is going to be a real issue and problem soon.  Both the South China Sea and North Korea... I just hope it can happen without war.

Someone's going to show force too much, trying to call someone's bluff.  Maybe an errant shot will hit a ship, and then the war horns will blare. Hope not.

Why am I reminded of that Futurama episode where Bender was unimpressed by a string of binary code, but then saw it reversed in a mirror and freaked out?

What next, robots telling dirty and racist jokes to one another in strings of binary? "Yeah, I've heard that about those Brother models."

Turkey has been used for decades now as an example of a successful Islamic country with a secular democracy.  This all started with the founder of "modern" Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.  He said the only way for Turkey to be successful is to modernize like the European powers at the time.  He made people learn Latin, outlawed Fez hats, and made many reforms for push Islam away from the government.  He made Turkey a Republic and the most successful Islamic country for a middle class and freedoms.

Turkey has tried many times to join the EU, but the EU keeps them away, but close at hand... because it is a country partially split between Europe and Asia.  But it is important to also keep Russia trapped up there, and the EU wants more influence on Turkey then Russia to take it all.

Now with the current leadership, we are seeing a move to bring back Islamic roots.  We are seeing radicalization growing, and Sunni/Shia tensions rising.  We are seeing the current government becoming more Islamic and tying in Islam back to the government, and we are also seeing the country struggle with Syria and civil unrest growing as the radical groups continue to grow, due to the relaxing of a secular governance.  We might very well see a splitting of Turkey as a county, maybe a Euro part and Asian part.  That is very possible in the next few decades if these growing problems continue.

We can only help the next leader will stop the Islamic uprisings and bring back the Democracy as the forefront of the government.
