As 60 Minutes showed this past Sunday, there is a battle going on between the Turkish government and Armenians over the forced deportation and massacre of over a million Armenians by the Turks. Rather than calling it what it was, a genocide, Turkey has refused to acknowledge it (the Turkish ambassador says in the interview "bones can be found anywhere in Turkey") and the United States has gone along with this...even though President Obama promised on the campaign trail to confront Turkey over this shameful episode in history. Instead, Turkey's importance as a military transport area and broker with the Muslim world has lead America to tread lightly.
