Isn't EVERYTHING wrong in the world America's fault? (rolls eyes)

Moral responsibility must in all cases be borne by the perpetrators of the act. Why do so many people in the Middle East have to invent elaborate conspiracy theories that fly in the fact of the simple truths of reality? A dream palace indeed.

Bad headline...a few thousand communists and some others blame US.Imperialists is a tip off.

This mindless Muslim anti-Americanism is making the average American hate them.

It seems that we're not going to get out of the ME without dropping major bombs on their crazy heads.

[Mariposaman]

The 49er's lost...must be Bush's fault!

[optimistically_conservative]

So, there are ten idiots in Turkey, Reuters found them to quote and then imply that a thousand protesting the terrorists might share their idiotic beliefs.

Surprising.

[eyespysomething]

"I believe these attacks carry the fingerprints of the CIA, Mossad and (Turkish intelligence service) MIT.

Its the Joooos again. And now they've gotten the Turkish intel agency to do their bidding!

< /sarcasm>

[speedy]

Yes, Reuters, being staffed by idiots, is naturally drawn to other idiots so they can quote them. This is like reading Izvestia back in the days of the USSR.

No. When my family made a somewhat noisy landing outside of Roswell, N.M. back in 1947 it had nothing to do with America. The Mother Ship merely miscalculated the gravity beam setting !!! ;-))

"Curse this terrorism, it killed my friend," said retired businessman Ismail Yildirim. "The imperialist powers are behind this, they are turning the Middle East into a bloodbath. They want to drag Turkey into it, but they will fail."

Yea, heaven forbid the idea that terrorists are the ones behind terrorist acts.

Turkish Communist Party members joined the protests in some cities and had signs saying "We Know Who The Killers Are," depicting Bush, Blair, Bin Laden, Sharon, etc.

It's like reading an article titled "America blames US for terror attacks."

Communists are atheists. This has nothing to do with the state, nor with Islam.

Here are the pictures of the Commies, notice: no flags:

But what's much more meaningful are people like these:

[Consort]

Why did you alter the title?

[dighton]

Turkey blames US for terror attacks

The source's headline reads, "Turks blame US policy for blasts."

As altered, the headline falsely suggests "government of Turkey."

[wimpycat]

I agree, it's a bad headline. It should read "Some Turks" instead of "Turkey". But then, I guess, the article wouldn't serve its intended purpose.

[a_Turk]

Now that really ticks me off..

What's your damned game sunrise?

[wimpycat]

Say, you're right. The FR title is different from the source title.

[freedom44]

This doesn't speak for Turks general population.

This was Turkeys 9/11.

Yes. And we would love to see the Middle East turned into nothing but molten glass......

[a_Turk]

Sneaky Title Change complaint..

Why I ought to pull her ears..
