A poetical video dedicated to the memory of the forgotten.

May the images here pay respect to the Armenian people (some of which were my family members) who suffered unquenched thirst in the scorching desert sun of the distant past. May we remember to both look back on this crime so great in scale as we continue to look forward to a day of enlightenment and truth concerning the genocide imposed upon this people at the hand of the Ottoman Empire. The voices of the millions deceased cry out for it from their dry desert graves. May the Bush Administration's recent and ongoing refusal to support the Armenian Genocide Resolution be thwarted, and along with it the prevention of yet another embarrassment to the United States of America: the embarrassment of an executive branch that continually puts truth a distant second to its thirst for power.

1. And may our government stop automatically trusting Turkey all the time.
Look at what they did to the Armenians, to the Greeks, to the Kurds. Why we trust them so implicitly and always take their side in everything is beyond me.

2. We need their airspace.
and we only condemned genocide when it gave us a reason to hang Saddam. So the logic here is we ignore it if it's to our advantage and act real shocked and hurt if it's to our advantage. We like it both ways. The Repricks are ruining our country and our reputation around the world. I get tired of being a hater so I wish, Shooter, happy hunting in his pen with a big batch of farm raised pheasants, this week-end.
