Thank you for publishing a fair perspective on the Armenian genocide and Turkey's denial. We invade countries in response to feeble threats but fold and quiver in our boots in the face of ultimatums from so-called allies.

The powerful lobby group has found fertile ground in state capitols where rural and conservative legislators often come from both parties. University of Utah officials just lost their battle with the state's legislature over the geographic scope of its concealed carry law - they had sought to ban weapons on campuses, but the state supreme court said they had to comply with the state law, effectively blocking them from banning permitted guns.
