I understand the realpolitick behind not using the word “genocide,” but to not call it a genocide is like not calling what the Nazis did to Jews a “holocaust.”

This has been going on for 100 years now, and it has to stop.

Shame on Obama!

And I understand the frustration and anger that he decided not to use the word. But Turkey is a vital part of the NATO alliance in the region, and there are serious problems in the area that we need Turkey’s help for, problems that are endangering lives right now. It doesn’t make sense to risk that alliance at this time just to make a rhetorical point.

Frustrating and maddening. But there it is.
