gen·o·cide –noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
japan - that was a war with a country, not a genocide, there was no systematic extermination of anyone
indians - the US was not the US, it was america and was under the control and orders of the British, so perhaps you would like to blame that on them
iraqis - 2,000,000?!?! This # gets more proposterous with every person that writes it, perhaps you should look at the dictator Saddam who killed many more than before the US arrived, and dont bother blaming the sanctions since Saddam single handedly declined humanitarian aid provided by the US and the UN
afghans - no one is there to exterminate the afghan people just a terrorist group called the Taliban
I dont think being two faced has anything to do with this issue (and dont get me wrong, I dont see any reason to make this tragedy an issue today, since everyone does have their own ugly past) However when looking at the armenian incident (I use that word since it is disputed) I have to say that it appears to be a genocide. A select group of people specifically based on their cultural group was systematically murdered in mass numbers. Is it not a genocide if the number isnt 500,001? If so what is the magic number to you that makes a genocide? Take a look at the definition and then take a look at the records as you mentioned above and I think it is fairly easy to see that it was in fact a genocide, no amount of denial or manipulation of numbers or facts will change that, whether it was 1 or 2 million or 500,000, either way it is a tragedy and it should be recognized as such. With that said, Turkey is no longer the Ottoman Empire any more than the US is a British colony so lets just leave the good people of Turkey alone and stop dragging the history of their land up when it is absolutely irrelevant to anything that is going on in the world today.
democrats are idiots
