Istanbul would have been a great venue, anyone comparing it to the Middle East that is reported in the news is a half retarded redneck.

While I agree with you, I just don't know if Turkey has enough money to host the Games and not fall into an economic recession afterwards. I imagine there would be a lot of debt financing for everything besides the soccer, basketball, volleyball, and track facilities.
The Gezi protests certainly didn't help the bid, but as you can see from my signature, I don't have a problem with that

They had some activity not that long ago; It's certainly not Middle Eastern-like, but it's not the most stable place either.

Agreed. Anything is better than Atlanta. US crappy security couldn't even prevent a bomb in Olympic park. I'm surprised the US is even eligible for another one after that.
