Dear Mr. Ianus,

What I am trying to tell you here is that the wanton destruction of cities of the East is an essential part of Western civilization. You are missing the bigger point. The west in order to achieve her geopolitical aims have always chosen to destroy what is considers "others" and "barbarians" Whether it is troy , Carthage , ctesiphon from the ancient times or Jerusalem , Constantinopole (the sack of constantinopole by the Latin crusaders) from the middle ages to the destruction and colonialization of the native Americans , the Phiippinos and numerous Asian and African nations to Hiroshima , Vietnam , Baghdad or Abu gharib and Guantanaomo bay this has the same pattern ever since.

My question to you is that how do you gather logic to crticise Turks who are probably one of the most sophisticated and cultures races from East ever to play their role in the history of mankind when your own Western civilization does nothing but spreading lie , hunger , destruction and violence for its own sake.
