Genocide or Political Suicide ?

Once again USA is stupidly taking the moral high ground, passing out strictures on another sovereign nation. This time it is the Congress passing a resolution against Turkey.

And the Administration is opposing it because it needs to be friends with Turkey. If it was a stricture against Iran or Sudan then the Adminstraion would have joined in. What a shambles.

Why should the Americans label everything and everybody and every nation on this earth to fit into their categories? And the funny thing is the labelling keeps changing as per the prevailing political wind and need.

Has America forgotten its own past of uncivil treatment of many of its own citizens, the native Indians, Blacks, Japanese, Communists and even War protestors.

Why can't the Americans be labelled anti-humanists? Is it because of the money power that USA is getting away with such stupid acts?

Any way, now that the damage has been done, can the US Congress please make a list of all similar large-scale massacres going back to since the time of Jesus Christ and certify all of them as genocides and be done with it.

Please be sure not to miss out the massacres suffered by various people at American hands either in legal or illegal wars and covert and overt actions, past and current.

And make sure that Congress reserve a session every year to update the list, because I am sure America will have a large contribution to make in future.

May be this can be even published as a book by the Congress Library.

It is a pity that the Democrats have started or are participating in this political suicide. Must give great comfort to Rudy Guiliani.
