#1 A mere 120 people and suddenly it's "genocide," but Turkey still denies ever laying a finger on all those untold thousands of Armenians. Is anyone else's hypocrisy meter detonating?

Prepare for Murat trolling in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ...

#2 To Turks, any military action that involves fighting against Muslims is genocide. And real Muslim genocides against Christians are lies.

Thousands of Armenians would have been merely a massacre, not a genocide. They were hundreds of thousands, over amillion I believe.

#8 JFM, I had hoped that "untold thousands" covered that, but thank you anyway. Trust me, I've lit a candle and laid flowers at the Armenian genocide memorial in Yerevan. Not that I mind you making the point again ...

For those unclear on the subject, please read "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh" by Franz Werfel.

#9 The town is a den of smuggling. Any action that disrupts smuggling will always result in protest - that's what protection money buys. "Genocide" is a convenient word in this case being used by opportunist scum who are bought and paid for. The use of the term to describe an American operation was guaranteed when Powell used the term to describe Darfur.

#12 Zhang, what funny is if you change the references to Islam to News, post 11 applies equally to Dan Rather.

#14 Turkey as a nation and the "Turks" as a people have had several opportunities at getting with the program.

A picture tells a thousand words.
