The Armenians are not the same. The Turks are not the same. When I found myself wondering what Congress is trying to prove, it occurred to me that they are trying to prove absolutely nothing. There's nothing to prove!! Trying to tell the American public that genocide is bad and that it occurred during WWI is like me trying to convince people that the sky is blue. We can teach our kids about history on our own. WE DO NOT NEED AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO TELL US THIS!!!The Red Knight (aka, Dr. Know)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11406873587114930626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-41294894730997895442007-10-12T21:27:00.000-07:002007-10-12T21:27:00.000-07:00Yes, the easiest way to end this war is for the US...Yes, the easiest way to end this war is for the US to be defeated. The Dems want to end this war at all costs, which includes the loss of our military personel, the safety of our citizens and our future as a world power. They are only worried about the NOW, with not much thought about 10 or 50 years from now. The US is in peril of losing the respect of the world. We can't continue to rest on the laurels of WWII. If the US enters a war, rightly or wrongly, we must win or there will be hell to pay later.April E.

The Armenian genocide was committed during the final years of the Islamic Ottoman empire, <B>not</B> by the modern Turkish secular government. This isn't even a good comparison, however, as what went on back then is better described as mass confusion, perhaps most similar to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and far from the systematic killings carried out by the Nazis.Paul E.
