We can say that this is not depend on the ppl, its only up to leaders beliefs. And now America is a most powerful country because of the democracy.

I think important thing to be a power in the world is a managment style. If there is a justice, education and health system work regularly, country will be a power on the world.

I notice that a lot of the non-Turks that lived under the Ottoman Empire seemed to not like it or its history very much.  Must have been sour grapes.

 

I have to say, though, that the decline of the Ottoman Empire is a very interesting chapter of history, as well as the rise of Ataturk.  But then, I like history from that time period anyway.

The Ottoman Empire and the USA don't have as much in common as I would say the USA and the Roman Empire. 

The English language has come into worldwide use because of its influence.  Turkish didn't receive the same echo as Latin, for instance.

It was typical of an american to say a thing lika that.You had better take care of Middle East.

The USA turns Middle East into a blood lake.Humanity is trouble with you Great Middle East Plan.People r suffering from the plan

The USA have to be more tolerant of their culture,religion and language.
