Yes indeed. How dare those Armenians speak out against their persecutors. People still got to jail in Turkey for mentioning this genocide. Armenians are still being *attacked* by the Turks as seen throughout Europe just last year.

It wasn’t an ‘abomination’. It was a genocide, pure and simple! Pick up a book and read about it. It is as well documented as the holocaust it inspired.

Once upon a time Americans used to pride themselves on being on the side of good against evil. Nowadays far too many endorse expediency which gain them nothing except to weaken their position in the long run.

How far back do you want to carry this nonsense? Ancient Rome? Alexander the Great? This alleged genocide occurred 95 years ago. Let history be the judge, not some toothless resolution from a failed US Congress that should be more concerned about jobs than censuring a NATO ally where we have an air base that is part of the logistical support for Iraq and Afghanistan.

The reality behind this resolution has more to do with domestic politics and the Armenian-American vote, primarily in CA and in Howard Berman's district than it does with any stand on principle. The Dems tried this in 2007 to embarrass Bush who stopped it from coming to the House for a full floor vote. Obama will do the same this time.

Kindly explain to me where my post disagrees with you. (Other than that I said it was BOTH an abomination and genocide.)
