I do not think anything of Nancy Peolosi -- well actually I think some very evil things about her to be honest -- but I want to say that the historical question of what happened to the Armenians in the First World War is not in any way a political one and the truth is absolutely awful. It was the first bona fide instance of genocide in the world in the twentieth century, in which the Muslim Turks killed over 1.5 million Christian Armenians starting in 1915 and continuing into the 1920's, though the worst of it was concentrated in the period 1915-1918.

I have read a great deal about the Armenian tragedy and, make no mistake about it, it is REAL! You might want to read what Senator Bob Dole said about it in 1996.

The Turks have instituted legal suppression of the press and academia in Turkey to prevent any truthful telling of the story. It is awful.

True, and in no way diminishing the facts, but the sad irony here for geopolitics today is that Nancy Pelosi is willing to stand up for those long ago oppressed, but unwilling to do squat---and, in fact, willing to completely undermine the efforts of those who do want to stand up for freedom today.

Also, there is the sad irony that the leader of the Cut-n-Run Democrats actually has the gall to preach that we, the good and decent people of America, need to commit ourselves to opposing genocide. As if.

The Boor War was the first instance in the 20th century of genocide.

Surprised you didn't know that.

Must be the English have filtered that one out of our consciousness.

It is awful.

Yes, it was.
