| An Open Letter to the Armenian Diaspora | | 2007-10-19 06:30:00 | | Mustafa Akyol writes to the Armenians with a very logical and balanced approach, and I recommend that you read it. I've posted a comment which I hope will be approved.. and since I'm fearful of my wireless router crashing as it so frequently does, I copied my comment here, and have decided to leave it up for you. Some things that have been incubating in my mind for a while, finally hatched and escaped.. Thought it worth sharing here also:Hear hear! Love what you have said here..One comment: the nationalism which you refer to as a virus.. I take exception to a little bit. Is it your opinion that nationalism on any/all levels is a bad thing? even in moderation? Is it not [one of, if not] the glue which binds us together? Doesn't an absence of nationalism result in division and disintegration of any sort? I'm a naive, uneducated American born Turk.. tell me, as a purely unifying factor, what is best?: Religion? Ethnicity? or Nationality? (how about self pity?) Have you ever heard the song, "Proud to be an American!" ? Using one word, how would you judge these lyrics?:If tomorrow all the things were gone,I’d worked for all my life.And I had to start again,with just my children and my wife.I’d thank my lucky stars,to be livin here today.‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,and they can’t take that away.And I’m proud to be an American,where at least I know I’m free.And I wont forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,God bless the USA.From the lakes of Minnesota,to the hills of Tennessee.Across the plains of Texas,From sea to shining sea.From Detroit down to Houston,and New York to L.A.Well there's pride in every American heart,and its time we stand and say.That I’m proud to be an American,where at least I know I’m free.And I wont forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,God bless the USA. How can it be, that in a country as diverse as the USA, with people from all corners of the world calling it home.. that no one bird dogs such a song (and dozens of others much like it) as a symptom of the "nationalism virus"? The US is the world capital of arrogant condescending patriotism.. which I believe to be nationalism in disguise.. yet no one here calls it a bad thing. When some slack jawed yokel in Alabama proclaims "America! Love it or leave it!".. no one bristles with shame or fear.. They nod approval, they say "Amen!" In America, anything considered to be a unifying factor, is GOOD. To wit, the words of the "Pledge of Allegiance":"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."For 12 years attending America's public schools, I was compelled to recite this every morning of every school day, facing the flag with my hand over my heart. Everybody does.. whether they came here last week or last year, whether they're Armenian or Turkish, whether they're Muslim, Jew, Christian or "other".So I must know.. why the double standard? Why is it okay for Americans to speak and act in ways that make their country "indivisible", but not okay for Turks? Assimilation? Turkification? There's assimilation here too! There's Americanization here too! Yet.. the problem is that Turkey is full of people who don't want to be Turks (even expressed as a nationality, hyphenated with ethnicity or origin), who don't want to assimilate or salute it's flag. To them I say: "Love it or leave it".Is there a word for the means which Armenians have been using as their "unifying factor" or their "indivisibility"? I can name a few words, none too flattering.When will we ever see a march or protest in Turkey with people of all backgrounds shouting "We are all TURKISH!" If native Turks did it, it would be called "nationalism". If Armenians did it, it would be called "the most beautiful thing ever seen".Turkey is also "indivisible", and we can't thank any one thing more than nationalism for this blessing, right or wrong.I've drifted away from my original purpose here, but I think you get my drift.... | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |
| | Every Congressional Democrat Needs to Be Drug Tested: Congress Pushes Resolution Recognizing Armenian Genocide Committed by the Ottoman Empire in WWI | | 2007-10-13 00:34:11 | | After the most recent Congressional non-binding resolution, every Democrat in office needs to be drug tested. In case you missed the news, the Democrats in Congress pushed a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire. Then, just as everyone predicted, Turkey recalled its Ambassador to Washington in a stroke of outrage. The people of Turkey are also furious.Did anyone care to notice that Turkey and Israel are our only allies in the Middle East? We use Turkey for strategic purposes in the Iraq War. We also protect the Kurds from Turkey by keeping this relationship strong.Now the moronic Democrats just angered Turkey with this meaningless resolution. Moreover, it could not have come at a worse time. This will lead to one of two things, if not both: 1) Turkey will cut logistical support; or 2) Turkey will attack the Kurds and then when we tell them not to, they will point to this resolution.These Democrats need to be removed from office, drug tested, and put in a padded room where they will not be able to harm anyone anymore. Aren't these the same Democrats who argue that George Bush has brought the World against us?(source)Related EditorialsHow the Democrats Lost the 2008 Election in Three Weeks: From Moveon.org, to Liberals Siding with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over Lee BollingerMahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University: Where Liberal Cultural Relativism Meets Objective IntoleranceMoveon.org Continues With Its Assault On General PetraeusIran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Invited to Speak at Columbia University: No Conservatives AllowedWashington, D.C.

| | Armenian Genocide Resolution: Let it PASS! | | 2007-10-11 06:48:00 | | I'm long overdue for one of my foaming rants.. That's right! Let it get through Congress intact! Why not? No skin off my nose.. I was born 55 years too late to be held responsible.. I'm not a land owner in Turkey.. Nothing to fear and nothing to apologize for! (Tongue in cheek, in case you didn't notice) Seriously though.. think of what happens to a BEE after it stings it's victim.. It.. no longer lives. So let the bill pass, so that Armenians will have nowhere left to waste their disposable millions of dollars! More importantly, the Turkish military will be free to do as it sees fit (a la Isreal in Lebanon), to protect Turkish citizens from PKK terrorists! No more restraint! Let the sorties fly! Let the tanks roll! Perhaps the armored vehicles and air cargo and fuel carried by the 3000 US supply trucks originating daily in Turkey, can get to Iraq from someplace else.. or not.. Maybe this could spell the end of US occupation of Iraq- speed up the US troop withdrawel and end the war! To wit:"Appearing outside the West Wing after that meeting, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates noted that about 70 percent of all air cargo sent to Iraq passed through or came from Turkey, as did 30 percent of fuel and virtually all the new armored vehicles designed to withstand mines and bombs." A BEE dies right after stinging! Let the bill pass so that Turkey is finally immunized from this sickening Armenian venom.. and finally able to thrust it's sword into any hornet's nest which begs to be impaled. What better way to ignite some more "unattractive" nationalism?.. you know.. the American equivalent of "patriotic".. a distinction which makes even a crack smoking, tax evading, magnetic-ribbon-covered-SUV driving American look like a hero, but which has somehow evolved into meaning "child molestor" in Turkey.. Maybe then, Armenians will be happy.. satisfied that they've sold their lies to the greatest country in the world. What next? (oops I forgot.. reparations and return of "stolen land") Will they lobby in China and India for recognition? No worries. Nothing in Turkey will change. Turn this Armenian issue inside-out and all you have is a big black hole.. Let's get this over with.. so that Armenians can turn off the taps.. stop the millions of dollars from being wasted.. Maybe all of the excess propaganda funding can be diverted to where it's really been needed for a long time: their HOMELAND! Sadly, the typical Armenian diasapora doesn't give a squirt of piss about what's going on back "home".. they don't even go there! Yet all that money would sure do wonders for their puny nation.. Just think what it might be like to have modern plumbing! electricity! telephones! Food on the table that DOESN'T consist of dog meat! Build some schools! Feed Armenia!... | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |

| Turkish FM Ali Babacan: Passage In Congress Of Armenian Genocide Resolution Will Irreparably Damage Turkey-U.S. Relations | | 2007-10-07 12:05:00 | | Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said, “The passage of a resolution in the US Congress supporting Armenian claims of genocide at the hands of the late Ottoman Empire will irreparably damage the image of the United States and make the Jews too a target of criticism in Turkey”.The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs is due to vote on the non-binding resolution on Wednesday. The resolution is widely expected to clear the committee and chances are very high that it will be approved in the House of Representatives if it is brought to the floor by speaker Nancy Pelosi. Eight former US secretaries of state wrote a letter last week to Pelosi, who backs the genocide claims, to block the vote. The US administration is also opposed to the measure.

| | I am not Hrant Dink. I am not Armenian. | | 2007-07-02 17:30:00 | | Demonstrators hold up placards which read: "We all are Hrant Dink, we all are Armenians" before the trial of the suspects charged with the killing of Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink starts at a Turkish court in Istanbul July 2, 2007. The banner in front reads: "We all are witnesses". The trial of the suspects charged with killing the editor began on Monday. (TURKEY) REUTERS/Stringer Is it unacceptable to mourn this tragic loss without jumping on some bandwagon? If a journalist of Turkish etnicity were murdered, which Armenian would declare "We are all Turkish"? How many Turkish diplomats and journalists were struck down in cold blood in the past few decades? Who mourns and remembers them? Who is paying for those crimes?... | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |
