I won't bore anyone with stories of going to see the memorial (several times) or any about my Dad (who served in WWII).....
I can understand your anger but it's your militancy that i find a bit scary.
Do you have any idea of what the estimates were like, the total numbers of victims?
Can you comprehend the number 200,000? TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND children, women, men, daughters, sons, parents, loved ones? Do you understand that that number doesn't include the misery of those who died later, who suffered from radiation burns, cancer, etc? That that number is merely an estimate (which goes as high as 210,000)?

I'm not saying you're a bad person here... just reminding you that innocent people on both sides suffered horrific and unimaginable deaths.
I'm curious as to your comment on the population of Turkey and also want to know if you address women in general as "lady" or if that was some kind of term of endearment for GR.
It seems a little demeaning to me... like some bad dialogue from a 50's film.
She's literate, educated and states her points well. I just find the term a bit crude.
