But, for people who bow at the religion of holocaustism to oppose this measure does not make sense. If I were the Turks I would just declare the European settling of America is another Holocaust.

I have a hard time seeing why Congress, which hasn't yet passed any of the current year's appropriations bills, needs to be going out of its way to gratuitously poke Turkey in the eye, unless it has something to do with currying favor from Armenian-American voters. But while we're at it, why don't we condemn the Bulgarian Atrocities of 1876-77? After all, Gladstone did, and if Congress didn't do so too, wasn't that a grievous oversight? (Or maybe there aren't enough Bulgarian-American voters for it to matter.)
