Whatever you might say about Arabs, or other "non-turks" is equally true of turks Mehmet. I shouldn't have to be the person explaining this to you, presumably old enough to know better. You think the arabs are the first people to have colluded at some point in history with those that became their enemies? Are you certain that turkish cultures haven't done exactly the same?
Guess what else is long gone? The Ottoman Empire.
(BTW, have you ever considered how fantastically lucky you are that the US doesn't engage in policy that could be said to align itself with your fanatical nationalism? Maybe we don't want to have to live with a bunch of "Non-Americans", or "Non-whites" here on this rock. We, unlike you, have the weapons necessary to make good on that sort of desire. It only sounds pleasant if you imagine that you'll be part of the "in" crowd.)
