Cramer Mon, 11 May 2009 03:46:58 +0000 http://www.buworldofideas.org/?p=519#comment-91 I very much appreciated the overview of political history from Ottoman Empire to present. After it was completed, I realize there had not been any mention of the Armenian Genocide. Did I miss it, or was any reference to the Armenians and their rich contrabution to Turkish History, as well as their tragic deportation and slaughter omitted from the historical overview. If we do not learn from history, it may be that the same people who occupied Armenian homes when they were forced out will be the next to experience a military, not a political solution. And I definitely agree with the speaker that we need political solutions in the US, in Israel, and the world over. Thank you for your response.
