But Bush won't because he doesn't want to harm relations with Turkey, which basically says it was all a big accident.

It seems to me that many of those who want to use this commemoration as an occasion to shove it in the face of Turkey's leaders (none of whom had anything to do with it), also want to stick a finger in the eye of Muslims. Is that about right?

Correct. This was a Jihadist genocide by the Turks. 400,000 Greeks and 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered by Muslims

Islam = Jihad

They're using it as an occasion to try to finally force Turkey to admit what it did. They've been trying for a very long time. What the current leaders didn't do is of no consequence, only that the country admits past mistakes.
