Okay, the systematic murder of 1.5 million people because they are Armenian isn't genocide, then by the same rationale, the murder of 6 million Jews isn't either. The Ottomans wanted to murder all of the Christians in their empire. Greeks, Assyrians and other Christian groups met the same fate.
The Ottomans loved to trap people in their churches and light them afire with people inside.
I find this double standard sickening.
I will hold my tongue about what I think of Bush's words on this one because it makes me see purple.
.... stated thus is not a factual historical event -- it is propoganda.
The Holocaust was systematic murder.
The deaths of 600,000 - 1,500,000 (giving wide lattitude for reasonable disagreement) Armenians was due to mass killings, ethnic (two-way) violence, starvation, disease, etc.
Whether it was 'genocide' is doubtful but debatable, and depends on whether one insists on an exact meaning or a more general one. It was certainly tragic.
