==============================================
A word of advice to the foreign policy novices who are giving the President advice. Stay out of the Turkey/Armenian Genocide debate. The Ottoman Empire isn't slaughtering Armenians now and hasn't existed since 1923. The Three Pasha of the Ottoman Empire were all tracked down and assassinated for their actions. Turkey wasn't established as a democratic republic until 1923. The United States is in no position to cast stones. If you want to make a statement label slavery in America as a crime against humanity, whuch it was. If you can't recognize our country's sins in a declaration, then you don't have the moral authority to judge other countries. Besides Obama's message regarding race is not to keep bringing up the past. If his advice is good enough for black folk in the United States then it's good enough for the Armenian folk.
