"The occupation has turned into barbarism. The U.S. administration is committing genocide … in Iraq.
"Never in human history have such genocide and cruelty been witnessed. Such a genocide was never seen in the time of the pharaohs nor of Hitler nor of Mussolini."
"This occupation has entirely imperialist aims." - Mehmet Elkatmis, head of the human rights group in the Turkish Parliament.
Exagerrated? Sure.
But he appears to be echoing the sentiments of many, many people.
"Elkatmis' comments drew barely a flicker of interest in Turkey, where polls point to growing anti-American sentiment."
Remember: Turkey was our ALLY in the war on terrorism, and has been cited by experts as a model for a Moslem democratic state.
