#3 Before anybody suffers 'the vapors' from interpreting the "silence" of the crowd as 'racist,'...it's because it was. But at the time, it was understandable being just 6 years after the end of WWll. Today, it would be inexcusable to not applaud. However, a sizable percentage of the spectators in that photo probably had loved ones killed by the 'Japs' as they were pejoratively referred to then. And if you would be so kind as to not write, "Well, the Japanese had loved ones killed by Americans." Just...don't...do...that. It would be in poor form considering the circumstance. My grandfather was shot to pieces fighting at Tarawa. I hold no grudge. That's war.

40 Open a news paper. Agia sofia was build as an orthodox Christian church, turn into a museum and now is a mosque again. It should be a museum as UNESCO dictates. Every thing that resembles a Greek culture have been erased. Turkey is a totalitarian state an don't give a f@#k.
