Notice that people aren’t talking about that Armenian genocide thing much anymore?

I’ve noticed that other political news has flooded in, erasing all traces of the conflict that, mere weeks ago, was captivating our collective attention.  I am referring, of course, to the Armenian “mass killings” or whatever Bush is calling it, which some people would like to dub a genocide.  Bush doesn’t want this, supposedly because Turkey is such an important ally right now, but I say there’s another reason for his apprehension.

If we go ahead and name that mass killing what it was, sooner or later people are gonna start getting a lot more interested in other mass killings we haven’t yet given the “G” label.  Like, maybe, that one right here in America, the one that killed, oh I don’t know, 15 million indigenous citizens.  Bush wouldn’t like it if people looked into that little genocide, now would he?  (Note: Some would argue the proper word would be “democide,” due to the lack of evidence that it was intentional.  I’m still on the fence on that one.)

Only time will tell if the American Indian tribes will ever have justice, but knowing our country, I’d say they’ve got a little more waiting to do.
