I guess you're okay with what it can do to our troops - and undermine all they have fought and died for...

With respect, the War on Terror is a War of Ideas. If we airbrush over the killing of 1.5 Million people by these Islamic fanatics we not only make ourselves accessories to their crime, we are shooting ourselves in the foot.

If the War is successfully framed as Evil America abu-ghraibing its way through innocent Muslim countries, then we have lost.

If the War is correctly framed as a war against the most fanatical proponents of the ideology that has through 14 centuries of history led to the murder and rape of millions in the name of its blood-soaked Prophet, then we will win.

It is those who whitewash Islamic democide who are - I think unwittingly - undermining all that our troops have fought and died for.

Don't let us become a Nation of Hitlers, saying "Who remembers the Armenians?" We must rub the Turk's collective noses in their democide. This war of ideas will never end if we allow Turks - and by extension other Muslims - to stay in their Ataturkic echo chamber.

In passing, a lot of FReepers seem to think that as the Armenian democide is in the history books, then that's ok. I submit that they try finding it in a Turkish history book.

But it’s the Democrat timing, dear one, THE TIMING of this resolution - sit back at think for a moment.

How many times must we 'remember'? There's a list someone posted of the MYRIAD times this genocide of 90 years ago has been addressed -

This was done now not out of any concern for the genocide OR the Armenians but was USED as an excuse for undermining the WOT and our troops.

To USE such a tragedy of other people to gain a personal -= and traitorous - goal, is Evil personified.

The democrats have shown that genocide only concerns them when it's convenient. Else why did they deliberately turn a deaf ear to the cries for help while the majority of the Rwandan people - 800,000 men, women and children - were being hacked, shot and burned to death? Clinton stood in front of the mike and proclaimed "There is NO genocide happening in Rwanda!" He sent HalfBright to the UN to repeat the mantra.

For the democrats to pull this stunt NOW is a dastardly deed on two fronts. It's a treasonous attempt to undermine our troops in a time of war, and put our troops in jeopardy, using someone else's tragedy to accomplish it.

I'm just as disheartened at responses like yours that fail to = deliberately or not - recognize this. I would think those who sympathize with the 90 year old genocide, would take umbrage at it being used in this contemptible way.

Not only are the posters who support this double-edged seditious act, but in the defense posts, as the traitorous democrats do, you 'supporters' have consistently failed to address the REAL TIME genocide Clinton and crew brushed aside.

Such support is either clueless, disingenuous or blatantly in bed with the treasonous and evil perpetrators of this transparent, in-your-face act to disrupt the success that our troops have fought and died for...

To defend this act as anything other than a political power play on the backs of both the Armenians and our troops is to lie in bed with the dogs - we are not fooled.
