I suppose like many wars it’s politics, not people at stake. At this historic site it was merely human beings studying the ruins and visiting history. Just an interesting observation in this part of the world. If you look at a map of Turkey you can see the challenges this young republic faces in terms of its neighbors.

If politicians could travel incognito to foreign countries they would understand so much more about the culture. Of course, those foreign leaders should do likewise. We have more in common being on this planet than we do in our differences.

We head out to the more conservative, highly religious part of Turkey tomorrow. I’ll keep searching for the commonality!
