The passing of a resolution formally declaring the deaths of approximately l million Armenians by Turkish troops in l9l5, on October ll, at the urging of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made the Turks mad (if we thought they weren't already). It has also angered the commander of U.S military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is it about speaking the truth that offends people, especially the guilty? Oh, I get it, when evil can be utilized in our behalf it is no longer evil. We must close our eyes and pretend. But where does the truth lie in all this? Everyone knows about the Armenian Genocide, so we're not allowed to talk about it? How will we ever learn from past mistakes if we can't at least acknowledge the mistakes?
After getting wind of the resolution, the Turks have threatened violence and withdrawal of their help in the Iraqi war. Gee, this is a trusted ally if I've ever seen one. Adm William Fallon claimed that the timing could not have been worse. When is a good time for the truth? War is just the desire and the ability to kill for an agenda with those with common agendas uniting. Who knows, if we ever find Osama it's quite possible we might find a common ground or enemy to be allied at this rate. I guess we can't yet comment that the Emporer hasn't got a darn thing on.
