American friends, why are you so unfair,so disloyal about allies policy, defense and fight against terrorism?

Question

You are in Iraq, 6000 miles far away from US territory, since 2003, because you thought Iraq was a danger for your security...

But you keep trying to give us "advice", telling us "that entering Iraq would be a mistake", although Iraq is a neighbour country ( we have a common border, we are not at 6000 miles distance !)

Kurds in Iraq are doing horrible things in Northern Iraq,,and they want to kill the turkish iraqi minority, and they help the turkish kurd terrorists in attacking Turkey and killing Turkish civilians...So we Turks don't have the right to protect ourselves ? And you have the right to cross the Atlantic and the Mediterrean to protect yourself ? And what about Abu Ghraib and the raped Iraqi girls ?...

How dare you give us " advice " ?

What is the signification of the word "Justice", according to you ?...

You have the right to fight everywhere, but other countries haven't the right to protect their very territory ?

Look at this... Is it fair ?...

In the second paper, in turkish, the news say that two US F16 have violated the turkish air territory during 4 minutes, and went back to Iraq...
A provocation ? A testing of our reaction time ?
What does it mean ?...The US ambassador in Ankara apologized and said it was an error...

Plus we are your ally, and we host you since the 60s in our Incirlik base...

Can you explain us what's going on ?...

What if two turkish F16 violate US air territory ? Would you accept it ?


Tell me...

For Don : My friend, I don't criticize ALL the Americans, don't worry...I do appreciate many american people and many things from USA...But I just feel scandalized by some injustices that I cannot accept...
PEACE...

For Romeo : You don't even know what you're talking about...In 1915 it was a war for survival, and we were threatened by several countries which wanted to butcher us . Even Australians and New-Zealand army came to kill you !!! Even Africans of french colonies came to kill us !!! And the Armenians decided to betray us, and they joined the Russian army to attack us on back side...Many Turks have been killed , and so logically many Armenians and people from other countries died...It wasn't a genocide, it was a war...Plus a American is not in a position to judge us, because you genocized the Native Americans and millions and millions African slaves have been raped,tortured and thrown in the ocean ..BEFORE ACCUSING SOMEONE ELSE, YOU SHOULD AT FIRST LOOK AT YOUR OWN BLOODY HANDS...
And concerning the Kurds, you can't judge neither...
Imagine what if Mexicans decide to attack you and get back California, New Mexico,Arizona,Texas,Florida...
Would you accept it ?...

Rectification : I meant " Even Australians and New Zealand army came to kill us" ( I had wroted "you" instead of "us", sorry...)

For Not-Fair : You really deserve your name... You are really not fair...How many turks were killed by your grand-parents in Anatolia ? How many women and babies were rapd and killed by your cousins in Caucasus ?
Why don't you open your mouth about the millions and millions Native Americans ( Navajos, Apaches,RedSkins,etc ) and African slaves exterminated by English Empire and USA ? Even if you were right about your issue, you could not be in position to judge and accuse, because 1915 was nothing comparable to the Native American genocide and the African genocide...Would you accept to leave your house in Fresno(Boston, or wherever...) and give it back to a Native Indian American?

For Amanda : Of course, my purpose is not to offend honest and kind people...I don't want to generalize...I do know that a large part of american audience doesn't agree the current US foreign policy...

I live in Paris,France, and sometimes I meet some Americans who really feel ashamed because of their country's dirty games...

For Not-Fair : Why do you say "Amen " ? Do you thinh the Christ agrees with you ?...

For Redd : I am Turk and I live in Paris. So what ? Is it a crime ? There are US citizens who live in Paris, did you know it ?...Educate your self , go to library, stop playing X-BOX...

Answer 1

Have you seen Bush's approval rating recently? Apparently he doesn't represent the feelings of all Americans.

Answer 2

the guy above me "thegubmint" is right. China isn't a unfastened democratic society. in the event that they have been attacked by Islamic Fundamentalists i'm extremely particular that each and every Muslim of their usa (if there are any) may be rounded up and shot. All Muslims may be barred from entering China. we are talking some usa that executes human beings and then sends the performed persons kin a bill for the bullet that grow for use. we are talking some usa that forces women human beings to get abortions might desire to they have extra effective than one newborn. Do you easily think of they might tip-toe around the tulips with those human beings? i think of not. the U. S. on the different hand is seen a "civilized" usa by our enemies so they think of their are limits to what we can do. There are actually not any limits for China, so they arent attacked. because of the fact the final public of their GDP is bought to the U. S. they might extra effective than probably bar all commerce to any Muslim usa. the only subject they might have is they, like the U. S., want oil from the middle East. China additionally isn't percieved as having any impact interior the middle East, they sit down back and techniques their very own business enterprise like the U. S. used to do a hundred years in the past.

Answer 3

I apologize to you personally for causing any discomfort. I do think you have a distorted perspective and are generalizing Americans. We are a diverse culture and many of us don't follow the agendas of our present administration. There are many of us who will use peaceable alternatives to attempt a change in administrations by voting in coming elections. We here in America have a problem with religious fundamentalists and a mentality of no tolerance. Big business, oil cartels, and corporations are now controlling our political processes. Our major political parties are bought and owned by these monsters. Hopefully we can oust them in the near future. Do not hate or despise us for we are not all the same and that makes us great in our diversity. We hope for change and will vote accordingly but many have been deceived.

Answer 4

Do you think that Kurds are going to let you commit genocide on them like you did to the Armenians in 1915. Your government feeds you a lot of propaganda. This is one of the reasons you are not being let into the European Union.

Back when Saddam Hussein was in power the Turks and Iraqis had a policy that if either Turkey on Iraq flow military jets over the border and bombed the others country the the other country could retaliate in like kind. It just so happens that the Kurdish Territorial home lands which stretch across the border where the area always being bombed.

Maybe if you leave the Kurds alone they will leave you alone.

Answer 5

friend, it has been awhile since we Americans have felt proud! we as well as turkey have a long history of helping people in crisis. but we have been overrun by an aging religious population who believe everything the government
says, have patience.
as far as the Kurds are concerned they are your neighbors
you are right, you should be able to protect yourselves
if you are truly threatened BUT,please don't make the same mistakes we have made

Answer 6

Well, we give advice because we are the better country. We in war or diaster strikes every country comes to us for help.
Justice??? Justice for the 1000's of people that died Sept 11th. Where the hell is there justice!! We are in Iraq fighting for what we beleive in, freedom. You should protect yourself but, we as Americans we not stand for terriost in our country. Thats why we fight!

Answer 7

The Middle East countries have been killing and torturing each other for hundreds upon hundreds of years... and so now it's the fault of the USA? This is my country, pal, and I love it and will always support it.

Answer 8

Your question lacks intelligence and is full of generalisation.I don't agree with America's foreign policy but can't stand other muslims referring to Kurds as terrorists all the time either.

Edit: And Hürriyet is yellow journalism, everyone knows this.

Answer 9

dont clump all Americans in the same group, in general our government hasnt been doing a good job of representing how we feel

Answer 10

Puisque tu vis à Paris,je te répondrai en français...
Ce que je voulais souligner dans mon commentaire précédant était le fait que tu utilises toi-meme des pratiques que tu dénonces ,c'est -à-dire la critique acerbe et le jugement hatif.
Tu parles d'exactions commises par les Américains(Abu ghraib,massacre des populations indiennes,...) et tu as évidemment le droit de les décrier,mais le génocide arménien et la non-reconnaissance de Chypres peuvent aussi etre pointées du doigt.
Bref,un peu d'auto-critique n'a jamais fait de mal à personne!
