There was no Armenian genocide. There are several solid and factual histories of the Ottoman-Romanof war. Read them.
Say there some Armenians killed during the war. Why is it that the Orthdox are taught never to forgive. This case is ludicrous. Those guys died 100 years ago. No one is left who was harmed guring that war. Why are you refusing to forgive and forget about crimes that never occured 100 years ago. I guess so that you can get away with doing nothing about the problems of today, right now.
That is revisionist rubbish. Pretty much the entire world accepts the Armenian Genocide except Turkey. It is easier to forgive when those responsible stop lying about their crimes.
John on Armenian genocide: "It is easier to forgive when those responsible stop lying about their crimes."
Obama on why he will block prosecution of Bush era torturers: "I'm a strong believer that it's important to look forward and not backwards, and to remind ourselves that we do have very real security threats out there"
No disagreement with that observation. Bush and Cheney have a lot to answer for, and the US definitely committed state sanctioned war crimes on their watch. Bush is one of the worst presidents in the post Word War II era.
Actually I was lauding you for your rebuttal of Obama's horrible policy of "looking forward not back" at things like bank fraud, support of dictatorships and US torture, but either way, we're on the same page.
