Spaces added. Yeah, I know EXACTLY what you mean.

That misconception right there is partly the reason why I'm as I am with history. Our perceptions of peoples are influenced by what we think they've done or will do which affects our actions towards them. 'Western' stereotypes of the Middle East have so much wrong with them contribute in massive part to the situations over there-hence, to me, having an accurate paradigm-details are just a bonus, it's the basic [i]paradigm[/i] about such things that's important-is not so much an issue with historical accuracy itself-it's an issue of war, humanity and responsibility. Fictional media has a [i]much[/i] greater responsibility than it's usually viewed with (except by conservatives who want to blame it for EVERYTHING which is just as harmful in it's own way).

On a different note, why the heck is it named 'Turkey'?
