Mehmet, Germans and Japanese are very "proud" of being German or Japanese. One doesn't have to become willfully ignorant of the shortcomings and misdeeds of one's own country to be "proud". We dropped a nuclear fucking weapon and I still fly the flag. Proud is one thing. The rhetoric you consistently let fall from your mouth is not pride, it is bigoted ethnocentric nationalism, and it's disgusting. If you were representative of Turkey as a whole, I'd say their place in middle eastern politics should be non-existent. The middle east is already full up with that sort of nonsense. So you go ahead and laugh at the "antics" of a people who were nearly annihilated, and pine away for the day when you don't have to live with "non-turks" (whatever the fuck that means Mr. Melting Pot). As long as the total measure of your dreamland Turkey's power is your impotent bitching about "The West", I couldn't care less.
