Bush is pissed.
Well maybe not pissed, but perturbed that no one cares about his "War on Terror." Can anyone say that to themselves in the mirror and take themselves seriously?
"I'm fighting the War on Terror. My enemy is terror."
You can't do it. It's hard. It doesn't even sound as good as the war on drugs. And no one's even fighting back on the war on drugs.
Anyways, the Armenians won a point on this one. If you think about it, it's ridiculous. Germany admitted to the Holocaust and no one really synonymizes Germany with Nazis anymore. They only seem to label people who happen to be Nazis as Nazis. If Turkey admits to this, Armenia will feel better about themselves. Turkey will experience a slight decrease in self-esteem. Overall, almost no one in America will care. In the long run, they're not going to connect Turks with mass murder the same way they don't connect Germans with mass murder. How does anyone take a stance on this issue when the people who went through it are long gone (maybe not entirely true)? It's really just a bunch of stories passed down on both sides to kids who grow up believing what they were told (ok, there are historians out there confirming it, but still). Mass murdering is bad. Trying to pit the blame on a country under a long duration of time that spans generations for mass murder is not worst, but it's also bad, but most likely not as bad as mass murdering.
