by mistake

NATO by mistake bombed civilians in Tripolis. They apologized: “Must have been a mistake in our weapon-program...”

The police by mistake throw tear-gas and shot with water-cannons on school classes in Stuttgart. “Must have been a mistake in our methods...”

The secret police of Assad killed protesters. “By mistake our weapons were loaded...”

A north-german customer bought sprouts in a bakery. “It might have been a mistake?”

A jounalist by mistake wrote an anti-Semitic article. “Must be a mistake in my software?”

Manchester United by mistake took a goal. “Must have been wrong positions of our defenders?”

A girl by mistake invited the whole (facebook-) world to her birthday-party. “It was a misclick!”

A Turkish police commander raped a young woman. “It was a mistake in our interrrogation methods!”

Libya. Questions

• Did Gaddafi give money to have Sarkosy elected? Why dont the French Left mentions it?
• If the western powers interfere in Libya, where will they interfere next?
• Turning the question: would they interfere somewhere, where no petrol is to be found?
• Why do all the western powers suddenly hate Gaddafi? Didn’t they trade with him?
• Who is the Libyan opposition? Will there be democracy?
• How much costs a “Tomahawk”-cruising missile? Isn’t it needed to fire them sometimes?
• Who is killing civilians?
• Isn’t the NATO a defence-treaty? And why are they not ashamed to attac?
• How have the relations between Gaddafi and Berlusconi been? Why does Italy neglect its (unlucky) african past?
• Why did Obama get the Peace-Nobel-Price?

Dead

On Sunday the retired first islamic prime minister of Turkey, Necmettin Erbakan, died in Ankara. The actual Turkish PM will return earlier from Germany for the funerals of his mentor. The head of Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, Khaled Meshaal,  will attend the funeral too.

Erbakan was forced in 1997 to step back as PM by the army. Later he was convicted to prison because of fraud (but let’s remember, that people like Helmut Kohl or Otto Graf Lambsdorff hided millions too), then pardoned by our actual President, Abdullah Gül.

Lies

Our PM said about Ben Ali of Tunisia and Mubarak of Egypt, they should step down listening to the voices of their people. He did not say the same to Muammar Gaddafi of Libya though. Are these the special ties established between Turkey and Libya since Erbakan was PM? (Additionaly PM Erdoğan spoke against sanctions imposed to Libya).

Which of these statements is sincere, which not?

But, funny, Arabs stil hate the Turcs. And not for nothing, I suppose. “We will not leave our country to Italians or Turcs”, said Gaddafi on Television.

Turkish dreams of “Turkishness”, dreamed by our nationalists, have come to an end in Middle-Asia too. In fact Turkey opened schools everywhere in the southern split-away countries of the former Sovjet-Union, but when they turned out to be religious, the mostly secularist presidents there closed them again…..

In the army now

Armies seem to play a new role in the recent Arab turmoils. Usually with the governments or the powerful, they suddenly switch to the protesters against tyrants. In Egypt they took over after Mubarak stepped back, in Libya they are in parts “with the people”. What about armies in other countries?

Human Rights

“Return the Gadhafi Human Rights Award immediately. The slaughter continuing in Libya will be on our heads as long as this prize remains to stay on the shelves of the Prime Ministry.”

Bloodshed

Today police responded violently to the protesters in Libya. It seems, the whole country is on fire. At least 200 people have been shot, as sources say. How important is it, that news spread out. The whole protests would be nearly for nothing without media (and more and more the internet is getting important).
Big petrol reserves are situated just in these countries “on fire”. The prize fort he barrel knew new heights today. What will “the west” do? Are we not very relaying on eastern petrol? Though we have to support the tyrants there?.
I would like it to be a real revolution in all those countries (Morocco reached the crowd of “protesters” today). What will it turn out? I dont want new religious regimes like in Iran there…..
Foreigners fled out of Libya today. I saw an airplane to İstanbul on Euronews today. We worked for a Turkish-Arab Company, someone said. This company is not existing anymore. From the government in Ankara: no reaction. Not a word.
