Proud of what you've become to yourself, your citizens and to the rest of the world?

I don't understand this. There is nothing different about what is going on in the US. This treatment, in much worse forms, was already standard for minorities as well as against foreigners during operations abroad.

They are giving us an opportunity to question the past and the present in terms of the way interracial and international relationships have been carried out thus far, and all we are doing is "OMG OMG How did this happen!". It's sad.

It was my jailbait for you all.

slashdotted it...

BTK had an announcement about TIB on a Turkish newspaper today, saying that they will get the IP addresses of the attackers and will "possibly punish them" for it (1, in Turkish). I posted the link so we all can have a touristic visit to a Turkish jail.

PS. Turkish media are now reporting (most probably upon government directives) that the attacks were not successful despite initial reports.
