Heyyyyyyyyyyyy how about religion.
The Democrat version would be: We'll address your worthwhile and legitimate international issue when it's convenient to our election campaigns.
Politics as usual.
are you seriously as stupid as you are putting out here? Yes, let's argue semantics when it will give us one less ally in the world, great fucking idea watsonOriginally Posted by Venture

IRAN'S ARMY IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION RITE?Originally Posted by Demosthenes11
i don't get it. If you are trying to incite another argument...grats?
As much as I am looking forward to seeing Bush out of office, I don't really think he was wrong in opposing this resolution. I mean, they all knew that Turkey would react badly to it, it's just not a pleasant label for the country. Of course, it definitely SHOULD be labeled as genocide considering the numbers, but if it's gonna piss off Turkey, why even bother? Obviously we need their support in this ridiculous war. Then again, maybe this'll be a good reason to pull troops out, but I find it unlikely to be the reason to end the war.
This whole resolution only stirred up trouble, what good came of it? Are the Armenians that much more happy now that the mass killing is labeled a specific word? I don't think I was going to be losing any sleep if it was just called a mass deportation with heavy casualties instead really...

Exactly. Labeling this a genocide would probably damage our relations with Turkey. As to what we'd lose by damaging our relations with them I have no idea, but apparently its worth enough to not arbitrarily label those mass killings as a genocide.Originally Posted by Haelian
Why doesn't the OP place a little more value on the problems at home anyway.
Is Iran's army a terrorist organization and should we incite anger with Iran even more than there already is by calling them so?Originally Posted by Demosthenes11
Fuck the Democrats. I'm voting Republican across the board next election. I've stopped believing in their leadership period if this is the best they can do during a war, with control of congress.The administration will now try to pressure Democratic leaders in Congress not to schedule a vote, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated they were committed to going forward.
“Why do it now? Because there’s never a good time and all of us in the Democratic leadership have supported” it, she said.
Why do they have to act like they actually care about the Armenians? I mean, do they honestly think they're fooling anybody? It's like OJ all over again.
