“Our closest Muslim ally” burned innocent people alive and perpetrated all manner of horrors. My family escaped that awful time while the world ignored it was even happening. Shouldn’t this - and what is happening in Darfur and what is happening all over the world where muslims are being barbaric - be condemned by any reasonable person?
It is the fact that they have not learned that should be protested and the entire muslim world should be held accountable for its continuing barbaric behavior. Why stop with the Armenian Genocide?
So did the Germans. So did the Japanese. The list could go on and on. Chastising our allies for things that happened a century ago by perpetrators who are now all dead is not only bad diplomacy, but just plain stupid.
Like I said, maybe they should chastise us for wiping out the Indians, or slavery.
I would also point out that Congress is not the head of state. Congress has no business interfering in diplomatic matters. But this Congress has a habit of abusing its powers, particularly in the area of diplomacy. Thus, Pelosi met with Assad over Bush’s objections. We’ve got Dems insisting that we should negotiate with Iran. They did the same thing with North Korea. We’ve got Dems lecturing the Iraqi government on how to run their country. And now this.
