LOL !

The US has a long history of meddling in other countries' internal affairs
including supporting military coups ! Passing a Bill asking Turkey to 'own up'
to genocide is quite mild in comparison.

Dead people can't "own up" to a 95 year old situation.

It's the *live people* who are being asked to do that actually.

Right. People who weren't even born at the time, hadn't one damn thing
to do with it, nor can they do anything about it. Plus not even
technically the same 'country' (Ottoman Empire) or government.

No different from blacks seeking to castigate Britain for its involvement in the slave
trade which has been a recent topic of debate and a public statement on the issue has
recently been made by the British Goverment.

It's probably largely silly but it wouldn't actually hurt Turkey to admit what
happened.


In other words, typical left wing stupidity of poking sticks in
people's eyes for no productive purpose whatsoever other than to
mollify their apparently insatiable desire to poke sticks in people's
eyes.

As opposed to right wing tactics of poking guns in peoples' faces !


Btw, it was a 'jihad' to eradicate (Armenian) Christians because they
were, obviously, not Muslim. You know, the sort of thing you've
claimed either doesn't exist or is nothing but a 'few kooks'.

Uh ? Cite please.
