Healing the World, One Finger Pointing at a Time

Why do we need Congress to waste their time and our money to tell us something we already know?

"We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Armenian people that began in 1915," Bush said in remarks that, reflecting official American policy, carefully avoided the use of the word genocide.

"This resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings, and its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror." A total of 1.5 million Armenians were killed beginning in 1915 in a systematic campaign by the fraying Ottoman Empire to drive Armenians out of eastern Turkey. Turks acknowledge that hundreds of thousands of Armenians died but contend that the deaths, along with thousands of others, resulted from the war that ended with the creation of modern Turkey in 1923.

Is this how a Democrat majority heals the reputation of the US around the world? The Ottoman emprie exists no more, what exactly does this accomplish? Japan just went through this just a short time ago. That really made the world a better place, didn't it. What next, a resolution about Nazis or better yet one aimed toward Attila the Hun, Gengis Kahn or how about Stalin?
