Well, at least they have their priorities

Congress is more than willing to alienate one of our allies over something that happened a century ago, but can't bring itself to actually condemn human rights violations occurring today.

Let's review - the Ottoman Empire killed Armenians during WWI. Now, I'm more than willing to blame the Ottoman Empire for it's genocide, but IT NO LONGER EXISTS. Does anyone blame the current German government for the Holocaust? If they do, well, they're off their rocker. Hitler and the Third Reich are gone. The Ottoman Empire is gone. Blaming modern day Turkey for the actions of an empire that doesn't exist anymore is stupid, plain and simple. It's an insult to Turkey, who just happens to be a key ally in the war on terror.

But that would explain why the Democrat American Communist Party wants to piss them off, wouldn't it?

Gah. Just go read. I'm tired, I'm pissed off, and I'm wondering when the shooting is going to start in my country.
