How will the Failed Coup affect Turkey

Fox News has published an editorial entitled, "Turkey's last hope dies".

Ralph Peters wrote that Friday night's failed coup was Turkey's last hope against the Islamization of its government. And Western leaders rushed to condemn the coup attempt they didn't take the time to understand.

"A great country is destroyed by Islamist hardliners before our eyes- and out president praises its "democracy".

"That tragically failed coup was a forlorn hope, not an attempt to take over a country. Turkey is not a banana republic in which the military grasps the reins for its own profit. For almost a century, the Turkish armed forces have been the guardians of the country’s secular constitution. Most recently, coups in 1960, 1971 and 1980 (with “non-coup” pressure in 1997) saw the military intervene to prevent the country’s collapse. Each time, the military returned the government to civilian rule as soon as that proved practical...

"Friday night, mid-grade officers led a desperate effort to rescue their country again. They failed. The West cheered. Soon enough, we’ll mourn…

" So who is the man our own president rushed to support because he was “democratically elected?” Recep Tayyip Erdogan is openly Islamist and affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which President Obama appears to believe represents the best hope for the Middle East. But the difference between ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t one of purpose, but merely of manners: Muslim Brothers wash the blood off their hands before they sit down to dinner with their dupes.

Ralph Peters makes the point that the officers who led the coup stood for, "Westernization and modernization…and promoted a democratic future…President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry opposed them."
