Subject: RE: BS: Truth: Turkey and Armenia
Well, McGrath, actually the government that perpetrated it (the Khymer Rouge) is still denying responsibility or wrongdoing, they just aren't in charge anymore in Kampuchea...they're in exile. But I digress from what I think is the main point here.
Let me expand slightly on what Don said...
Let's all just STOP saying "You're a monster!" "You're a monster!" "You're a monster!" to various other people over stuff that happened in the past. Let's stop saying it to whites, Turks, men, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Americans, and all others who have once massacred (or at least oppressed) various other people for their own gain. Let's instead say, "Mistakes were clearly made by various people. We recognize those mistakes now. Hopefully we will not be so foolish as to make other such mistakes ourselves in the future in our righteous zeal over the sins of the past."
That would be a good start towards a more peaceful world.
