As an "outsider" I agree that paranoia is a necessary element to supressing people.  However, I would certainly be a little angry and warey myself if such a map was being bandied about about my country, showing it carved up to accommodate a "new" country!

However old this map is, whatever the excuse for it, the fact is that it is still being shown and "considered" - so let´s allow the Turks a little justified paranoia on this occasion shall "we"?

so are the killers Ilhan Selcuk and Mustafa Balbay?

Anybody who knows how to use photoshop can draw a map. This one happens to be coming an ex USA army personell.

It is just annoying.. 

But being just annoyed is much different that showing this map for as a proof of our chronical xenophobia and hating of foreigners..

Then comes talking about Kurdish rights is supressed with ´ah they are just trying to devide us´; comes butchering christians in malatya; comes sending 17.000 people into acid wells.

Once people believe their  paranioa is a THE real thing, they easily justify what they are doing..

if you ask the killer of H dink, he will say to you that he has done it because he was simply protecting the country. From whom? from foreigners. why? because they want to devide us..

The level of democracy we have now in Turkey is much related to this paranoia..

You are very good at blaming your own country, which is to be commended, but you could easily be accused of wearing rose tinted glasses about the UK.  Don´t you believe their is paranoia and xenophobia in the UK?  What about the "fear" of muslims, the fact that people refuse to fly on a plane with anyone who looks remotely middle-eastern?

You only have to look at UK history (and present!) to know that we were fed paranoia to justify our actions.

I am leaving the ´blaming the uk for the paranoia you mentioned´ to Brits..
