A House of Anatagonists

First the Dem's rankle Turkey, now the Pacaderms piss-off China. What are these people thinking? Is EVERYONE in politics inept at foreign policy?

I must admit that I agree with the resolution...in principle. The evidence of genocide is solid and we must have some backbone to stand up against such behavior (as our hero, Clinton, did in the Balkans). The US has a tradition of forcefully (and selectively) opposing genocide. This remains one of our few legitimate points of moral leverage. It is the TIMING that makes no sense here. Where is the tact? The discipline? What is the harm in waiting another year to declare an hundred year old event genocide?
