We seem to have no trouble calling Darfur, a genocide. So why is it so impossible to understand what happened to Armenians. I know I don't understand all the ins and outs, politically or otherwise, but I can't say any of those things should outweigh calling reality reality. As far as I know what it is that entails, "genocide", I believe the Armenian people have suffered this. So let's give that a dignity in calling it what it is, instead of playing semantic games so many years later. It's shameful. wow, what a stunning photograph. really drives home what’s at stake here. why is this so hard for people to accept? why does our govt and others have such a problem admitting to an actual reality, that’s in the PAST for crying out loud.
