So the genocide of a million and a half Christians by muslims is tedious to you?

Perhaps you didn't read my post. What's a tedious waste of time is for congress to throw a snit ~now~ aimed at a government that no longer exists. It accomplishes nothing.

Maybe they can spend some time tomorrow deploring the Roman invasion of England. On Friday they could deplore the sacking of Rome by barbarian hordes.

Golly-- every day they could reach back and find some new thing to deplore!! How wonderfully productive.

Thanks, S. Morganthau did all he could to assist the Armenians. I do remember that. I would take his word for it. He lived in a time when one’s word meant something.

No, not Condi. She’s worse than Powell in terms of competence. We needed Big John Bolton then!

It's never a waste of time to shine the light on genocide.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Virtuous and moral, hahahahahaha.

Who said it was "virtuous and moral". The Turkish Parliament made a huge mistake. They reacted emotionally instead of pragmatically. That isn't the point. It was avoidable, if Bush and Powell weren't so stupid about the whole matter.

Massachusetts Democrats trying to shore up their standing within their districts.

Noble idea. Dishonest and selfish motive.

I did. It's the impression I got. I could just see them refusing it. They turned their nose up at 30 billion. Everybody and their brother knows we give them billions a year.

Stupid Powell, I'm glad he's gone but Condi ain't any better.

I always drift off to a 'what if' scenario when I remember back on the beginning of the war. What if we could have come into Northern Iraq from Turkey. What if's are a waste of time I know but I still wonder.

Yep. Just like the millions dead at the hands of various communists regimes must be remembered, especially since some of our politicians are bringing communism lite to our shores.

Only lite for now. Genocide is genocide. If the House wants to declare Stalin guilty of genocide tomorrow I'm for it. Passage of time is not relevant when it comes to something as weighty as that.

Yours is the first intelligent comment on this thread.

If Congress can get irate about overseas events that happened almost 100 years ago, what's to stop some group of Native Americans from demanding reparations for the deaths of their ancestors in the 19th Century Indian wars?

What's past is past, except that which can still be changed. I believe there's plenty left from the early 20th Century -- Social Insecurity, ag subsidies, labor-favor laws, price supports, banking regulation, to name a few -- to keep Congress busy if they were in the mood to correct mistakes of our own government rather than lay a guilt trip on a country that's been a fairly reliable ally, blaming them for something no one alive is responsible for.

Surely Congress has more constructive things to do than pass non-binding resolutions of this nature.

NO reasonable person can compare what happened or did not happen to the native americans vs what happened to the Christians of Turkey.

To posit this fallacious argument is to undermine logic.

I consider you biased on this issue, given your emotional posts regarding the Armenian genocide issue.


I consider you a moron on this issue.

Genocide is emotional. I am proud to be emotional when it comes to the savegery against men women and children perpetrated by Muslim Turks...or by anyone else for that matter..
