Could Bush have acted differently considering how strategic Turkey is to both the US and Nato and could a Democratic president done it any differently? |
I think it is purely political thing for Bush. And also it is possible that Bush don't think about it too much. He is beset by problems all over and he has only one year left. It is not in his interest to start a fight about something he hardly cares about.
For me as a Jew it is also hard to understand , but Israel also don't officially recognize Armenian genocide. Though I think it should as a courtesy as regards to the same process that happened to Jews in WWII.
