“Why would any Armenians even CARE that the US is doing this?”

If most of your ancestors were murdered in a genocide that the world ignored and the ancestors who did survive were labeled “combatants” or “anti-muslim” as though they brought it on themselves, you might feel a little differently.

The resolution will probably be killed again because the powers that be are so dead against it.

BTW, notice that Bush was quick to call (rightly so) Darfur a “genocide.” The double standard is what bothers Americans of Armenian descent. There’s a book entitled “Forgotten Fire” that pretty much expresses it.

They were, actually.

But I don't know who they are and the people who did it are long dead. As an American, I would not want it to be brought up at the expense of the nation's foreign policy and the WOT.

Darfur is now. The people doing it are here now.

The people who perpetrated the Armenian massacres are long DEAD.

Aren't conservatives suppose to oppose collectivism?
