Sensational book in Turkey raises questions

I read a book like that this summer. But this time it wasn't Turkey, but the Netherlands that was invaded by the USA. The ICJ issued an arrest warrant against the entire US government. No country took it serious, so no-one was arrested until Heinz Rogue (Karl Rove) tried to bribe the prince of Freudenfels (Liechtenstein). The prince had him arrested and brought to the ICJ prison in The Hague. Then the USA decided to attack the Netherlands to release him. At the end the USA were thrown out of the NATO and Push (Bush) got impeached.
Very unrealistic, but it was still an enjoyable book.

Genghis I don't know you but to let you know I respect America, my grandmother worked at the American Embassy in Ankara for 32 years, I have been to the States for 17 times, I have founded my American Football team. I just don't agree with this administration and this book is funny but you must understand; a nation is being overrun by war just a thousand kilometers away from where I live and I have my worries about certain things.

Besides I find you critique childish and unrealistis, I wonder how old you are.

It's total sensationalist paranoia to think that the United States is about to embark on a campaign of world conquest.  Regardless of whether or not you agree with him, Bush is not some Hitler bent on conquering Lebensraum for the United States. 

As I'm sure that you are aware of the conceptions of America in Europe, and I am too and I dislike them, I should tell you all that in America an image of Europeans as naive, bowing to the UN, and bitter over having lost their old glory.

Are any of these true for any but a small group of people?  Of course not.  But books like these, along with American books like "Of Paradise and Power" which says that the current, and hopefully temporary, rift between Europe and America is a fundamental rift that will inevitably continue to widen, are dangerous.  The two greatest regions of democracy should not allow a transatlantic schism to occur.  Books like Metal Storm and Of Paradise and Power exploit that rift and serve to widen it.

That is why I was so harsh in words, for that I apologize, but events like this are the last thing Europe and America need right now.

In my defense, I must say that I don't hold a grudge against Europeans.  I've been to Europe many times and in the next two months I'll be going to Paris and Budapest. 

My mother and some of my classmates make stupid statements like "let's invade France" or "let's just conquer the Middle East" and I always rebuke them for that and tell them they're ignorant.  I know a lot of Americans who try to act like the rest of the world is a backwater full of weak and unimportant powers that America should be able to dictate what it wants to and I cringe whenever I hear them say such things, for the same reason I don't like books like Metal Storm or Of Paradise and Power, they serve to push apart two regions of the world that should remain closely allied.

Thats fine, Turkey can keep printing those kind of books. America has there own, and damn, there ALOT better

Heh, your writers are way behind others. I remember i have read novel about USA attacking Poland in 1994. The title was "Noteka 2015".  It was extremly funny war story about how US army equiped with extreme high tech arms was defeated by polish army which was using completelly primitive and basic methods. I remember i couldnt stop laughing when was reading it.

Hey people I guess all should understand that I said "Turkish oriented" and "Anti-Bush". I am considered a liberal in my country, and many extremists dislike my thoughts therefore I am not in agreement with this book as perceived by Genghis. However I would like to thank him for clarifying his thoughts. Remember a famous saying; I don't agree with you thoughts, but I would die for defending your liberty of presenting your thoughts.

Best regards.

i wonder why country like Turkey is expecting an attak from the US, it is getting closer to Israel everyday which makes her one of the US's best freinds.

i think the Iranians and the Syrians should expect such attaks and write books about Bush's crusads.
