12. They are looking out for their interests. I imagine the U.;S.
knew these things, obviously they did or these documents wouldn't exist. So why did the U.S. ignore their support for Al Queda? What did the U.S. gain that was more important than Turkey supporting our supposed enemy? I imagine a lot of people will be asking that question, don't you?

Every country does what is in its own best interests. This one, eg, has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children claiming it is in our interests to do so.

If we can do whatever we want for our own selfish reasons, what objection can we possibly have when others do it?

Once you lose your moral authority which this country has because of its actions regarding these wars, your opinion really doesn't have much influence anymore. Which is why people who really care about this country have opposed these wars, the torture, the theft of resources, the setting up of puppet governments in other people's countries etc. etc.
