The holocaust could have been averted if more people had spoken out and had united against the Nazis.  The allies could have bombed even one of the railroad tracks to the camps.  Those who knew what was going on did nothing.  They allowed the atrocities to continue.\n\nThe same thing is happening today, on *our* watch in Darfur, Sudan.  What are your doing about it?  Are you speaking out against the first genocide of the 21st century?  Write your legislators.  Demand that the U.S. use diplomacy to place U.N. troops in Sudan!!!\n\n“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”\nMartin Luther King, Jr.. Baptist minister who led the civil-rights movement in the US, 1929-1968.\n.

Genocide begins with the most mundane of things and builds from there.\n\nThe (enter your favorite racial slur here) has too many damn kids, doesn't respect anyone, makes more money than he deserves, thinks he's superior to us, has all the good and powerful jobs, etc. When enough people start to think that, or are convinced of this because someone else wants to deflect attention from what they are doing, then feelings of inferiority, hopelessness, frustration in the general population can be manipulated to believe there is a problem that needs to be solved. Eventually, the persons who claim they can SOLVE the problem will devise a "final solution." The general population will probably not know what that solution is, they just know the (ethnic slur) is obviously getting what he deserves. As time goes by, while the general population might start to become suspicious, the one thing they know is: I really don't want to know!

I have friends from there...great people!\n\nThe Republic of Armenia, or Armenia, is a landlocked Eurasian country in the Caucasus region, bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the south. Armenia is a member of the Council of Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States and for centuries has been on the crossroads between the east and west.\nIn AD 301, Armenia became the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its official state religion, twelve years before the Roman Empire granted Christianity official toleration under Galerius, and some 30-40 years before Constantine was baptised. There had been various pagan communities before Christianity, but they were converted by an influx of Christian missionaries.\n\nUnder the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenians and the Turkish majority lived in relative harmony. However, as the Ottoman Empire began to collapse and World War I began, a large proportion of Armenians living in Anatolia perished as a result of what is termed the Armenian Genocide. The events of 1915 to 1917 are regarded by Armenians and the vast majority of Western historians to have been state-sponsored mass killings.\n\nThe capital is Yerevan, population: 2,982,904 \nlanguage: Armenian \nIndependence from the Soviet Union:\n - Declared (August 23, 1990)\n - Established (September 21, 1991)

I am already involved in the sudanese genocide in Dufor.It really broke my heart to see the story.\n\nOver a million blacks have been forced from their homes by Arab militias backed by the government, into camps if they aren't raped/killed on the way as tens of thousands have been. Now, the rainy season is coming which will worsen the sickness and malnutrition already rampant in the camps and make it tougher for aid to get in.\n\n I have sent a small but helpful donation.I wish I could go there and do some hands on help...especuially with the children who are homeless and in trouble.\n\nA big thank you for posting this and making others aware!!!

Thank you for posting this,it is for me old news but it is relevant nonetheless because it exposes the true mindset of the followers of the "religion of peace".The day that this young girl was executed was also the day my young niece was born,and when the story came to light for me and I put the two dates together I could only think how I would feel if my niece were some day put in a similar situation. The only conclusion I came to was that if her relatives don't make as much noise as possible to protest actions like this then there is something wrong with them,the whole country should be up in arms about actions like this,the fact that they aren't just shows how deep this sickness really runs in my humble opinion. But this is commonplace in Iran,including executions of women who have harmed their attackers in attempted rapes,these people are truly ill.\n\nAD

I think that the way the Iranians punish criminals is brutal and inhumane.  However, I think they've got the right idea.  Sometimes, a person can do something so awful that they give up their right to be considered a human being.  Murder in cold blood (NOT in the heat of the moment), rape, and child molestation are unforgivable crimes, in my opinion, and a person who commits them should not only forfeit his life, he should have to die in the most painful manner his executioners can think of.  After all, what mercy were the victims given?  Why should the lowest of criminals get mercy?  Is a criminal more valuable than his victim?  I say, NO!\n\nI think Iran was too lenient with this monster.  Medieval punishment would have been better.  He should have been hung, drawn and quartered.  Or pulled apart.

Those were massacres against the Palestinian people right after the PLO's departure from Lebanon. \n\nLebanese Militiamen, with major Israeli support, spent 4 days going through the refugee camps slaughtering every living Palestinian woman, child and man. Young and old. The US stayed silent even though it assured the Arabs that it will not allow such a thing.\n\nThis was all because the Palestinians were kicked out of thier country by Israeli terrorists. \n\nI fully sympathise with the Palestinian right of return and not only return, but also compensation for decades of torture and injustice. The Horns must be blown and the Bells must ring, Jewish Extremism is the worste disease of our present age and time. \n\nThe Israeli Zionist Jews must stop being racists, they must surrender all thier tools of agression, and they must live under a Palestinian flag, just like they were in the past living in peace under the Ottoman rule. It's Jewish Extremism's arrogance that is going to result in the collapse of Zionism's prize, Israel. \n\nNo to Aparthied.\nNo to Racism.\nNo to Ethnic Cleansing.\n\nYes to Peace and Security to Palestinians Jews, Christians and Muslims and all others.\nYes to Equal Rights in Palestine\nYes to Dialogue!

I agree except for the part about how it's a shame that the soldiers died the way they did. I'm sure ya meant it's tragic for them to die over there. But it's always tragic for a soldier to die. The shame would come in if they were shot during a disgraceful act, etc. \n  Semantics, perhaps. But it's such a faux paus that twisted "peacenicks" used to make a soldier out to be a monster, rather than a victim of our government's foreign policy.

I believe that Armenia came to the aid of an enclave of Armenians living in Azerbaijan territory but ended up occupying an area that was mostly Azeri.  \n\nHowever I'm speculating all the way from Canada and I'm sure that they don't tell me the whole story.  I would love to come and see for myself but I can't afford to right now.\n\nMaybe you could tell us your side of the story.  I would like to hear it.

You would not expect the Armenians to come out and say yes we killed a bunch of Azerbajanis because we don't like them.  Just like the Turks won't say they killed Armenians because they don't like them.  The whole area is made up of violent groups from each country, and they are xenophobic and hate the other ethnic groups.  The governments all support the violent people hoping that they will be able to gain more power and land.

Up to 45,000 people have died and a further 500,000 are homeless after the devastating earthquake which ripped through Armenia, official figures revealed today. \n\nSpitak, a town of 25,000 inhabitants, has been completely destroyed and cannot be rebuilt - a new city will have to be built over the wreckage.

I've heard plenty of the Armenian Genocide. I have a few Armenian friends, and they've told me stories that has been passed on by theyre grandparents and great grandparents. Its sad that the Turkish government denies that the genocide ever took place. I dont doubt the U.S. would do such a thing either, I mean, c'mon, what about the genocide done to the Native tribes? You never hear about them, like they never happened.

The genocide happened because Armenia supports the ethic Armenians in the area and their desire to separate from Azerbaijan people.  The Soviet army that attacked was made up of Armenians.

I don't know, but we are all to be blamed for having close our eyes and shut our mouth while tousands were slaugters.\nI'm only 19 y.o. but I feel guilty for this anyway. Even the United Nations didn't act in order to stop the genocide. We ought never to forget what happened.

I think it is time for Armenians to show their power and show every stinkin' country in the middle east who they really are. They have been invaded for THOUSANDS of years and not just a decade so taking back what is their's and always was isn't invading, my friend. It is doing what is morally right.
