All this week the "Armenian genocide" has been in the news--but only as a phrase, with no substance or meaningful explanation. Robert Fisk remedies that; see also this article of his, and this one.
One of the most galling parts of the drama this week has been sensible liberals saying, sure, we should probably recognize the Armenian genocide sometime--but must it be right now, when we're relying so much on Turkey's assistance? I wish they would read these articles, and I only hope that if they did they'd have the humanity to set aside their faux-sophisticate realist posing and agree that yes, it must be right now.
