And a Zionist is, of course, "anyone who doesn't support the killing of every last Jew".For those that don't understand "Z.O.G."?
"Zionist Occupied Government".

Yeah, that too. I've never seen a bunch so rooted in th past. No wonder they have such a massive inferiority complex. They've contributed nothing but misery and death for centuries.

If they kept their insane hatred and violence inside their own borders, I'd say leave 'em to it. But when they bring it out to the outside world, they will be dealt with.And a Zionist is, of course, "anyone who doesn't support the killing of every last Jew".For those that don't understand "Z.O.G."?
"Zionist Occupied Government".

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.
And join the 21st Century.
Dude, in your shiny world is also not everything correct. Or are you denying there is a significant competence decay with latest generations of Americans?
After diminish of Soviet and maybe even unmatched historical supremacy over world, you hav brought the country to financial collapse and world-wide crisis.
Most potent adversaries are now your biggest creditors.

Really? China's economy would collapse if we didn't stop buying what they sell, Russia's economy would collapse if we stopped buying what they sell. You know what that reads? Inter-dependency. Turkish Nationalists are pathetic, no wonder you have never left the third world and are devolving into Islamists (which will make certain you stay there).And join the 21st Century.

Really? (...)
Yes, really.
China is growing each year by almost 10%.
That's to current nominal GDP almost 500 Billion a year.
At GDP PPP it grows almost 800 Billion a year.
You Americans grew-up with grandeur. I don't blame you for not really being able to see a near future, where you will be dethroned.

Seven Flaws in China's Growth Model
Short term, China will keep growing rapidly, adding to demand and boosting the global economy. Long term, the picture’s not so pretty.
By Andrew C. Schneider, Associate Editor, The Kiplinger Letter
August 17, 2010
China’s economy is slowing, but only a little. The July industrial production numbers announced by the country’s National Bureau of Statistics on Aug. 11 were weaker than expected. That raised fears that one of the engines of global growth was about to seize up. In fact, the slight slowdown is intentional, the result of moves by Beijing to prevent overheating. China can and will change course if the need arises. We still expect it to grow about 10% this year, a figure that will make most of the world envious.
Still, over the next few years, Chinese growth has to moderate somewhat. Double-digit annual GDP gains in the past were relatively easy because the economy was growing from a small base. Those kinds of gains will be harder to achieve now that China is the world’s second largest economy, about one-third the size of the U.S. But China’s lightning expansion also masks a host of serious structural flaws. Fixing them will take major reforms that, so far, Beijing has proved unwilling to make -- in no small part because they would undermine the authority of the ruling Communist Party.
Here are seven of the most entrenched problems:
Excessive capital investment. Beijing rewards provincial and local government officials with promotions if they manage their regions well. For decades, the chief measure of progress was success in providing jobs for a rapidly growing urban workforce. That usually meant building factories or adding infrastructure, whether needed or not. Such overcapacity leads to waste of scarce resources, deflation and dumping of excess production abroad.
Financial mismanagement. Local officials force state-owned banks to finance that construction at next-to-nothing rates, with no regard for borrowers’ suitability. Inevitably, nonperforming loans pile up on the banks’ balance sheets. Beijing already recapitalized the four largest state banks once, forcing ordinary depositors to foot the bill, which hurt consumption. Now bad loans are once again on the rise, a result of the $586-billion stimulus China poured through banks last year. Though Beijing could manage another bailout, it certainly can’t go through this cycle endlessly.
Flawed education. Chinese colleges graduate many times the number of engineers and scientists that American universities produce, but such statistics are misleading. To meet the quotas for graduates set by Beijing, academic programs dilute their standards. They further inflate their count by counting as engineering students those studying to become mechanics or industrial technicians. The result, according to a pioneering study led by Duke University professors Gary Gereffi and Vivek Wadhwa, is that many of these graduates fall far short of the standards imposed by U.S. colleges and universities. When they graduate, many are unable to find work in their professions.
Stifled innovation. Those engineers and scientists who do measure up -- the cream of Chinese universities or those who study overseas and return home -- often have little freedom to explore. If they work for state-owned firms or universities, Beijing dictates the direction of research and development. Many gravitate to the more open atmosphere at private firms, but these companies can’t get loans to grow because state enterprises gobble up the capital. Beijing aims to compensate by forcing multinationals to transfer advanced technology as the cost of doing business in China, but foreign firms are fighting back hard.
Environmental degradation. Water pollution and water shortages pose the most serious problems. They cause health ailments, damage agriculture, jam up hydroelectric dams, interfere with manufacturing and limit urbanization. As aquifers dry up, soil erodes, turning an area the size of Connecticut to desert every year. The resulting dust storms add to the country’s already horrendous air pollution. Beijing’s preferred solution to the problem is a massive south-to-north river diversion project. Odds are, that will make matters worse, draining water from already overtaxed southern supplies.
Corruption. One of the major reasons Beijing has such a hard time dealing with all the problems mentioned above is that so many individuals have a vested interest in keeping things exactly as they are. Communist Party officials pay for their advancement, then aim to earn back their investment. Local governments seize houses and land, sell it to developers with little compensation for those displaced, then take kickbacks from the construction companies. Academics provide kickbacks to the party in exchange for research funding. U.S. companies operating in China suffer as well. “When U.S companies hire for research and development there, there’s a lot of pressure to put Communist Party members in key positions,” says Wadhwa.
Beijing does make examples of particularly corrupt officials and business leaders, sometimes even executing the offenders. But the problem of corruption is endemic, says Liao Ran, a China specialist with Transparency International. “Generally speaking, the cost of corruption amounts to about 10% to 13% of annual GDP,” he says. In absolute terms, that’s a loss of $500 billion to $700 billion per year.
And demographics. As the generation of the Cultural Revolution retires, the burden of their care falls heavily on the smaller generation of the one-child policy. “The Chinese population is simply growing older faster than it’s getting richer,” says Peter Navarro, a professor of economics and public policy at the University of California at Irvine. As fewer workers support more retirees, competitiveness will suffer. For an illustration of what this could mean, China need look no farther than Japan.

Meddling is just another word for interfering which is another word for government intervention which normally causes unintended and negative consequences regarding most things it involves itself with from healthcare,education and welfare to foreign policy,imho.

It's a shame then that yours is going backward:@HiPeter
If your articles keep you happy, why not?
The world is in transition. No article of yours will change that.
Human rights violations in Turkey have not decreased, say NGOs - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review
Even that nationalist propaganda machine of yours has to admit it.
