RESOLUTION DOESN'T HELP AND MAY HARM
Submitted by kevorkkalayjian on Sat, 10/13/2007 - 22:15
The House Foreign Relations Committee vote 27/21 on H. R. 106, acknowledging the Armenian Genocide, is a giant step forward for a more perfect democracy here in the United States of America and in the context of our image in the world both for our allies and for our adversaries.
This is the greatest gesture of love and respect to the Turkish people. Our NATO brother-in-arms should know that, just as David Kaczynski brought his brother Theodore John Kaczynski (The Unabomber) to justice, America will not stand idle for deniers of Genocide.
It is a shame that the present administration still opposes this important human rights achievement. It is a disgrace that there are still people amongst us who see no harm in denying a crime for profit.
This administration and its supporters marched into the White House as the defenders of the faith and the family values, they turned up to be a pack of wolves ready to sell America’s honor to criminals.
Sincerely,

Genocide Denial
President Obama Continues President Bush’s Policy of Genocide Denial
In spite of his campaign promises, President Obama failed to recognize the Armenian Genocide, and he continues the policies of his predecessor by aiding and abetting the Islamist junta in Turkey disown the crime of genocide.
The Turkish government is not at fault that denial of the genocide thrives in the USA.
It is because of our policy choices that we still permit genocide denial. Of course, U.S. policy is based on the degree of involvement of the American voting public. Each and every one us are the barometers of the degree of the immorality, stupidity, and indifference, which will be tolerated in our domestic and international policy, which will then be usurped by treacherous profiteers.
When the United States fails to duly acknowledge the crime of genocide, perpetrated by the Turkish governments of 1894-1923, the message to current perpetrators of genocide in Africa, in the Middle East, or elsewhere in the world is loud and clear: “If you are planning to commit genocide against an unwanted minority don’t do a sloppy job like the Nazis did to the Jews, do a thorough job as the Turks did to the Armenians. Kill and annihilate the majority of the population, so that there are not many survivors to retell the story or demand justice. As long as you outnumber your victims, you have the democratic majority to rewrite history according to your whim. You can blame the victims for enticing the violence; you can condemn the slaughtered minority for taking up arms to defend themselves buy blaming them for starting the killings.”
The descendants of the victims of the Genocide are few, and they are not a democratic majority to bring the needed change in Congress and in the White House. Only the active participation of all Americans will force our politicians to stand up for human rights in our foreign policy.
We have ended slavery, we have ended segregation, and we can put an end to the denial of the crime of genocide.
Please make your voice be heard in Washington.
