Damn. I never would have thought that. There are lots of links for the skeptics. I'm so disillusioned. Damn. I really thought it was because they cared.

"Why is Congress spending time trying to pass a resolution condemning the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire nearly a century ago?"
Thomas Sowell asks. His answer: "It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this resolution is just the latest in a series of Congressional efforts to sabotage the conduct of [the Iraq] war."

UPDATE: Retreat: "Almost a dozen lawmakers had shifted against the measure in a 24-hour period ending Tuesday night, accelerating a sudden exodus that has cast deep doubt over the measure’s prospects. "
 
Ohh it is politics of some sort. Just not sure which sort.
Might have something to do with a proposed pipleine accross the primarially Armenian section of Turkey.
Hard to get at the truth of the situation.
