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..

I think you just proved my point. I respect your views, and share them. But not now, not this way.

It is time for Turkey to accept its responsiblity for a change as far as any acts of genocide by the Ottoman Turks against Christian Armeanians if it is going to be accepted by the west. Hey Germany did it when it came to dealing with the wrongs done by the Nazis against the Jews. It is called paying its debt to civilization.

The genocide proposal has been attempted many times in the past. Now is the time. Both Republicans and Democraps with a conscience (and the political motivation) passed it. Now it goes to the House...and Duncan Hunter has signaled his support. But then again he is a moral man. He does not operate based on business dealings with the Turks like Hastert and that RINO bunch. They are callous amoral dwarfs.

We do not need the Turks in the Mid East. That era is over. Turks never sided with the west except during the COld war when they needed support against the Soviets and the billions of our money.

Armenia is ready willing and able to supoport our work in that region. We have other allies there as well including Russia. Turkey is a failed parastate. The Kurds will make mincemeat of them if they try anything.

Not according to the foremost historian of our times of the near East, Bernard Lewis.

What happened in Rwanda and is happening in Sudan are more accurately called Genocide.

What you have here is a rewriting of history and a moral equivalency most often seen on the left.

You can draw on Bernard Lewis, I can draw on Henry Morgenthau. I'll draw on Raphael Lemkin, you'll draw on an equally credible source.

You won't convince me it wasn't genocide, to muddy the waters I think we committed genocide against Native Americans in certain instances, I likely won't be dissuaded from that opinion either.

But that goes to the heart of the issue, it's historical. And even today, in 2007 where radical Islam is a threat, of no real consequence. History is where it should be debated, not on the floor of the House with what I think are questionable motivations.

I admit, I'd be unable to vote against it.

And to supporters, let me clarify of no real consequence, I think efforts to bring financial institutions to answer for nonpayment of accounts and policies is completely legitimate. If efforts for compansation against Turkey can be made, fine, though that's up to Turkey, not the US. But this resolution addresses none of that.

Think we’re going to break $100 a barrel on this latest stunt to cause problems for the Bush administration?

A hundred dollars per barrel has been expected for sometime. This resolution is not the reason for it.

Look at the dates on the articles.

That's only two. Just search FR for articles with oil expected to hit $100.00 a barrel.
