U.S.-Turkey Relations Cool

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

Turkey recalled its ambassador to the U.S. and warned there would be dire consequences if Congress passes a resolution classifying the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1923 as genocide. What do you think?

Jane Young,
Systems Analyst
"This is reminiscent of when Germany withdrew their ambassador until America officially recognized Oktoberfest."

Ricardo Olmos,
Traffic Cop
"Well, politics is all about finding a middle ground. How about calling it an unmitigated slaughter? Would that work?"

Ben Hauer,
Insurance Agent
"If there's anything our Congress is good at, it's passing philosophical resolutions in name only that have no tangible outcome."
