Quoting teaschip1: Quoting AlphaF: Check the role of US in Armenian rebellion against the OTTOMAN Empire...around year 1915.
Ask yourself why.
See if there are similarities between what US did then, and what US is trying to do now... |
When your ecomony is in the fore front and you can speak freely with out imprisonment, then talk to me.. |
Do you ever read human rights violations reports? Did you know that your mighty country has also a mighty big file there? In the past, many bad things happened to those defending unwelcome causes and many of those bad things happened in your country. We are now looking to leave the sins of the past behind us. Turkey has achieved a great deal in that department. We often criticize the US because we feel that the going is the other way around there.
As for our economy's being not so forefront- you are right; we might as well be called a banana republic compared to the US. Your economy is not doing well either but you don't feel it. Your government keeps you in a fool's paradise that runs on money coming from outside the US in the form of cheap Chinese labour, cheap production in the third world where nature is recklessly deranged by polluting industries and oil patronage. Being a superpower you have every right to drain the resources of the world to the limits. Did you know that the US (correct me if I am wrong) is the only country that hasn't signed the Kyoto protocol. It seems American people are happy burning hell a lot of gas in their 5 liter engine cars at 1 dollar a gallon and will happily invade any country that stands in the way.
You may call this a priority enjoyed by a superpower. I will stick with human rights, equality both for my own country and for all the other countries in the world. I will continue to believe that there must be integrity in all spheres of life and that includes politics.
Now tell me, how much do you care about the Iraqi people who have lost their lives since the beginning of this war? Is this bashing, name calling or what? Let me answer my own question: we are not bashing anyone here but before you childishly accuse a nation of a genocide, remember objectivity and also be man (in your case woman) enough to acknowledge the mistakes of your own government.
