I Thought We Would Have Friends Again

I'd be interested in your impressions of this article about Turkey withdrawing its ambassador after the Democrats passed a resolution accusing them of a century-old genocide. I thought that the Democrats could be counted on to repair our relations with the world, but they went way out of their way to accuse a large, peaceful, prosperous, reasonably democratic and reliable Muslim country of genocide? If their concern is genocide, why on earth aren't they doing more about Sudan?

It seems to be an attempt to punish Turkey for helping, however half-heartedly, in Bush's war effort. This is insane. How can you account for this ridiculous waste of time which can only hurt the country's interests and, above all, its already-shattered image?
