The House Foreign Relations Committee has passed a non-binding resolution condemning the Ottoman/Turkey empire for the genocide of Armenians before and during World War I. This resolution was passed in spite of pleas from former secretaries of state and defense, Bush and his cabinet, world leaders and the Turkish government to not do this. There can be little doubt that those who voted for the resolution were putting politics and petty issues before the good of our country. Turkey is about the only ally we have in that area of the world. They allow us to have bases in Turkey and assist in the Iraq operations. They have also listened to us regarding our concerns about them attacking the Kurd rebels in Northern Iraq."
