OT: Armenian Genocide. It's most ironic that the Israelis end up urging Americans not to denounce the Armenian Genocide. There is a documented quote of Adolf Hitler, who, when asked how he thought he could get away with The Jewish Holocaust, responded, "Why not -- nothing ever happened to the Turks after what they did to the Armenians." So maybe it should not come as such a great surprise that we still have genocidal acts being perpetrated in our lifetimes, against Cambodians, East Timoreans, Aborigines, etc. For more info, including a link to info on the Armenian Genocide, see genocide.com

Sir, Regardless of the question of who to blame, on what grounds and historical research you have done makes you speak this confident on the matter? If this massacre happened and in fact was a planned action, where are the written orders by the government of the time? It is easy to say you have no question. I invite you to read a little about the less written history of WWII. The one that passed in middle east. Armenians lived side by side to their Turkish neighbors in peace and cooperation for hundreds of years under the empire's rule. If the Empire (Ottomans) were so eager to massacre them, why didn't they do it a few hundred years before when they were way more powerful? On the contrary, Armenians are encouraged to grow and move upward in many affairs. Did you know they were the main competitor to Jews in Ottoman finance matters? They were also the empire's jewellers. This was not enough for them and when Russia attacked the weakened Empire from the East, they joined Russians thinking this would gain them an independent state. Armenian gangs killed many more muslims in the area then Armenians they claim to be massacred. What do you thin US would do all of a sudden Cubans in Miami start attacking other citizens in an organized fashion? I do not know what US reaction would be and do not want to speculate. Ottomans decided to deport Armenians to Syria. Because the villagers of the day were the guerrillas of the night killing the very neighbours lived in peace with them for hundreds of years. I will leave at that. As educated people, I believe, we have a moral obligation not make such strong statements without references and all the facts. My kind regards, Rudy
