The point to which anti-americanism without purpose had reached over here

[Autumnlicious]

For at the end of the day, what did the American public really understand from this enterprise? Nothing. It just served to create a similar sentiment towards Turks in America, putting our interests in jeopardy, whereas a written statement that clearly outlines the problems would have garnered a better response.

Now you understand our insanity.

Here, our very news is calculated to spread hearsay and serve corporate interests. It's all in the business of making money, which I thoroughly understand.

The better question is, who is served through these actions? Which set of groups, from financial backers who expect political or industrial control, to political ideologues interested only in ruling, in Turkey does this event serve the best?

I'd look at the news services for certain groups -- you'd find they are a public face for an agenda. The ones who are the most self-congratulatory over this are probably closer to the puppet masters.

Unfortunately, the incident is still being loaded on the backs of nationalists, although we too oppose the US military presence in our lands, we want them gone by government action, something that actually matters.

As long as you're prepared to forfeit the aid and support, fair enough. However, powerful interests in the US would no doubt resist as their investments in Turkey would be at jeopardy -- this reminds me a bit much of pre-revolutionary Iran, right up to before the revolt, though. There were also powerful interests that also went too far and contributed to the poor treatment of the Iranians, backing the Shah at all costs.

History warns you.
