The Dalai Lama and the Armenian Genocide

The Bush administration took a hypocritical stance by honoring the exiled Dalai Lama yesterday. Mr. Bush is taking the risk of upsetting the Chinese government, an important trade partner, but is not willing to upset Turkey, the conduit to his project in Iraq.

The Armenians deserve their place in the history books. If the resolution fails, or doesn't even get to the floor, the U.S. is then aiding a country re-writing history.

Our elected officials should look beyond personal interests and do what is right. That is, after all, what they are elected to do.
