"These were only a few of the human rights violations by the U.S. in Iraq that the press covered and we followed," Mr. Ozdener said. "We did not intend to insult American people or their values, but only wanted to portray a real tragedy there."

the real problem is that they've invented a tragedy and are marketing it as a real one. that's fundamentally dishonest. an over-the-top north korean bond villain is much different than a story marketed as containing some truth while our men and women walk the same streets depicted in the film.

What does it say about the Turkish population if a gruesome fabrication of anti-american and anti-semitic themes is what "they like to hear and see"?

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
