>> I still would like to know if the media's hype of this situation as a shake down of us by Turkey was intentional or simply because they are ill-informed.

Your media always present us as the villain. Even as our people were being killed by suicide bombers, your media described those terrorists as rebels and freedom fighters..

But that's not just your media. Europeans did the same thing.

Suddenly you get a taste of what it's like being a Turk.. But hang in there like we did. Don't give up nor give in.

That is a good analogy!

And a very good lesson for us!

Thanks!

You've done well over the last little while with intelligent responses to tough and sometimes rude questions. I know some of your history. I'm glad you're on our side. The Turks in Korea were some tough cookies.
