I wish they did but they will not. They are "happy" as long as their way of life is not threatened and they took to the streets because the AKP threatens it. The way I see it there is no strong anti-war movement in the US because what the US is doing in Iraq and elsewhere does not threaten the way of life of the average American, at least, at the moment. To him or her what is going on Iraq is no different than a video game in which some fictional beings kill each other. When you turn of the video game, everything disappears. As Freud said, denial is the best defense mechanism against trauma. Just trun off the switch and everything disappears. To those who took to the streets in Turkey in the past few weeks, the issue is their way of life threatened by Islamism. Nothing more. They are making a choice between the AKP and Military, and choosing the Military because the Military is not threatening their way of life while the AKP is. Why should they care about anything else?
