...grandson of survivors of the Armenian genocide, I was intrigued to read Samantha Power's compelling Commentary "Honesty Is the Best Policy" [Oct.29]. I've been alarmed by opposition to the resolution to hold Turkey responsible for the mass killing of Armenians during the last days of the Ottoman Empire. Political expediency should play no role in this debate; the facts overwhelmingly support what many in the world recognize as the 20th century's first genocide. If Turkey is to be the model moderate Islamic country, it should come to terms with its past...
...Might Overtakes Right Samantha Power observed that U.S. policies and actions since 9/11 have diminished the country's human-rights appeals for action in places like Darfur and Burma [Oct. 22]. I don't mean to discount the recent evaporation of the U.S.'s moral authority, but it has been decades since the U.S. or any other nation could effect change based on rectitude.

The refugee problem is virtually ignored in this country because it is another reminder that the U.S. occupation of Iraq is a horrible blunder. As bad as Saddam Hussein was, it is impossible to believe that the Iraqi people are better off now than before our invasion. It is our shame that we have granted asylum to so few refugees. The President's pre-emptive war of choice must be judged by history as a crime against...
...donuts and muffins, maybe some munchkins,” Murray says, “and then occasionally there’s a spilled coffee and you’re like ‘Oh, shoot!’” Robert J. Ross ’09, Samantha G. Barnard ’09, and Amary K. Wiggin ’09 are also habitual dumpster divers (about once a week), but their motivation is entirely different: these three blockmates are all vegans who have joined an underground movement known as “freeganism...
