Where's the benefit to our country when a Democratic-Party-dominated
Congress is trying to pass a bill chastising the Turks for Armenian
"genocide" that occurred in 1915... NINETY-TWO YEARS AGO?

The answer... NONE!

It's nothing but a mean-spirited attempt to anger a very good ally.

Are Democrats SO stupid as to think that most Americans will not
recognize this attempt for exactly what it is?

The absolutely only reason they are doing this is because of the war in
iraq. They cannot get tehre way with the troops so they resort to **** like
this. They know damn well what its going to do and thats why they did it
now. They've probably had that ace up there sleeve for years.

I'd say it's more likely they're doing it in order to present a position
consistent with the EU who are also asking for Turkey to address this matter.
