Genocide
Matt Welch and Alex Massie go after Obama for backing away from using
the term genocide with regard to the Armenian genocide. Massie:
If you think you’ve heard this tune before it’s because you have.
It’s become a ritual: all Presidential candidates decry the Armenian
genocide on the campaign trail and the successful ones always welsh on
calling it that once they are in power. George W Bush was no
exception. Realpolitik you say? Just the usual campaign stuff you have
to say? Well, perhaps. But if politicians want to be taken seriously
perhaps they should cease being quite so cynical.
