Catholic ping!
Sounds like a Brit alright. Very unsure if the Turks did anything really wrong. It’s so well documented as to be ridiculous to deny it. And had to throw in a few digs at American conservatives being basically he same as Turk genocide denial.
Retarded.
Oh, there was an Armenian genocide. Only the Turks (perpetrators) deny it. There are a couple of good books referenced on this thread.

The author is very smart and detailed, but seems myopic. As he minimizes the possibility that the Turks had genocidal intentions when they slaughtered the Armenians, he leaves out one little thing: Islam.
What a pompous ass. I’m sure his American relatives enjoy being made into straw-men so that he can claim those mouth-breathers are just bitter, stupid, and unwilling to change. It sure makes him out to be the erudite genius.
When I started reading this article I thought the author is a real pompous *ss. But when I got to that line I realized he's just a run-of-the-mill *sshole.
Really? How about the Mongol Empire, bordering both modern Finland and Indonesia in 1279?
This is one of the more incoherent pieces I’ve read.
He admits he doesn’t really know anything about the Armenian genocide, but goes on to write about it at length. The gist of it, though, is that somehow the Turks are sympathetic victims. Oh, and the Americans are jerks.
He suggests that the whole thing may be an exaggeration, and probably an honest mistake. How embarrassing that the Armenians insist on bringing it up. And, by the way, did I mention that Americans are jerks?
