Balancing Acts
October 16th, 2007The Congress is considering a resolution condemning an Armenian genocide that occurred years ago. It’s such sleaze, I only hope that the Democrats are just pandering but have no intention of passing it because it’s a dangerous resolution. Yes, genocides and war crimes must be recognized and condemned, but not at the expense of our current war or relationship with the Turkish government. Pelosi, I suspect, knows this and is merely pandering to her public, but who knows. Maybe she really doesn’t understand foreign policy, but I won’t give her so little credit.
It’s a hard thing to balance: foreign policy and morality. Ask Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush about that sometime.
