There was a very destructive bombing in Turkey that occurred during a peace rally. It killed about 97 people and injured about 246 other people. It is believed initially that this was an attack by ISIS, but it has caused much grief among the people in Turkey. The people are not feeling safe and this could destabilize the government even more than it already is. It is so sad to know that in order to make a voice heard, people have to mass kill others. This could mean a lot more trouble ahead for Turkey, who are neighbors with Syria, Iran, and Iraq- which they are all in a conflict with the Islamic State. This is a tragedy in Turkey and could be one of the worst tourist attacks in their history. There are so many tensions running high already in that area that this is only making matters worse and can hurt the democracy more and more. I think it is important that the the people of Turkey unite to make things better and fight against terrorism and stand for peace. I can see how the pro-democracy people are fed up with the state because they are quick to "crack down on dissenters but cannot keep the people safe." I am sure its very frustrating and it is hard for the people to stay hopeful. This is also especially important to the United States because they are apart of NATO and a U.S. ally.
