[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

During the Bush Administration, the US House Foreign Relations Committee voted to condemn the neutralization of heathen Armenians by Turkey as an act of "genocide".

Turkey hit back, saying that the Armenians died in a civil war, that they were anyway collaborating with Turkey's Russian enemies, that fewer Armenians were killed than have been claimed, that as many Turkish Muslims were murdered as Armenians.

The resolution was going to move to the House of Representatives, but Bush vetoed it! Here's what he said:

"We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Armenian people...But this resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings. Its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in Nato and in the global war on terror."

Well, the precident is clear! Holocaust denial is now safely mainstream. A few Jews died in a civil war, that they were anyway collaborating with Germany's Russian enemies, and fewer Jews were killed than have been claimed, that as many German Christians were murdered as Jews.

"We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Jewish people...But this resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings. Its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally (Germany) in Nato and in the global war on terror."

Take that, Jewish hollywood propagandists!

Oh, but don't think this lets the Iranian government off the hook for denying the holocaust. The Iranians still deserve to be nuked/genocided for denying genocide. But once we're done genociding the Iranians, will we also genocide people who deny we genocided them? This is all starting to get confusing.

Update:

I'm bumping this thread because the democrats have voted to un-deny the armenian holocaust, thus destroying our relations with Turkey the same way they did with Germany.

What's next? Are they going to change the White House menu so that turkey is called "Liberty Bird"? Only democrats would do something is childish and undiplomatic as that.
