you say 'your bloody history - your country is built on other people's blood' now that is funny since it's coming from an american. (Indians, Black People, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Japanese people in concentration camps, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again. these are all i can remember now) Even if what you say is true, i think you should be the last one to blame us for building our country on other people's blood.
First of all there were never 1.5 million Armenians living there. And the reason why they were forced to move, and yes killed, was that they back stabbed the Ottoman Empire in the WWI, and began killing Turkish civilians in the area. I mean it's not like we wanted to own the oil in that area and therefore made up a lie that they owned chemical weapons and killed some and put the rest in prisons and tortured them and well, you know how the story goes.
Yes we killed many Greek soldiers during the independance war after they had invaded Anatolia, but i cannot see anything wrong with this. Is there something else about the Greeks i do not konw? And i would also very much appreciate it if you informed me about Bulgarians. And the Kurds, yes, if you are talking about PKK it is officially declared as a terrorist organization by your very own government. Come on, come to your senses, even if what you say is true the most recent issue you talk about took place like 80 years ago, but now as i write, american troops are killing innocent people in Iraq. Again even if what you say is true, at least we have been trying to better ourselves for the past 80 years, what about you? I guess all that slaughtering in Iraq doesn't help much.
anyway, i think the topic we were talking about was the movie showing americans killing innocent people in Iraq. i saw the movie today. it is a movie, fiction, everything shown in the movie doesn't have to be true, but yes, americans are killing innocent people in iraq. and also torturing some.
