The Turks committed genocide against the Armenians between 1915-1917. You can look it up. Yet, the Turks deny it. Strangely, Congress seems obsessed with two things. They’re obsessed with introducing resolutions to recognize that the genocide occurred and they’re obsessed with defeating those same resolutions so as not to offend the Turks. The whole charade repeats itself endlessly and it is one of the sadder spectacles produced by our government. First of all, it is totally unnecessary for Congress to pass a resolution to confirm historical reality. America had nothing to do with the genocide. In fact, on April 6, 1917, we entered World War One on the other side of the conflict from the Turks. But if it is unnecessary to confirm the genocide, it is totally gratuitous to deny it.
The solution is to stop introducing these stupid resolutions. Shall we have a congressional resolution to confirm that the pyramids are in Egypt?
