...settlement for the atrocities committed around 1915. Similarly I would welcome accession of both Armenia and Turkey to the E.U. - subject to certain conditions. One of which must be an end to "almost a century of animosity between the two countries." My only quibble is your comment that "Armenians say 1.5 million were killed in a genocide" and that "the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish army" took place. It's not just the Armenians who say this; the French government and Turkish writers such as Orhan Pamuk and Taner Akcam have also recognized...
Government soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians in the Guinean capital, Conakry, killing at least 157 people and wounding some 1,200, in addition to raping women, witnesses say. The U.N. called for an independent probe into the massacre, which came as protesters denounced military leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, who seized power in a 2008 coup...
...success, especially in science, is relative. Yes, as media reports immediately crowed, the vaccine was 31% effective at reducing the risk of HIV infection among the 16,000 healthy volunteers in the study.

Consider also that circumcision can cut the risk of HIV infection nearly twice as effectively...
Lying: it's the fundament of all fiction--and what comedians, those unbeautiful little people, do to get attention. This film also says it's the root of all religions, a placebo for troubled minds. But the oily sadist Gervais played on The Office is not the movie Ricky (seen here and in last year's Ghost Town), who'd rather have a hug than a slap in the face. Mark, getting in deeper before he has to make a public declaration of his sins, may deserve both, but ultimately he could be the hero of a Frank Capra fable...
...elected him dictator, giving him both houses of Congress and the major television networks whenever he wants them. Instead of ignoring people's objections until they get socialized medicine and realize they like it, as England's leaders did, Obama is worried about seducing Olympia Snowe so he can say his health bill is bipartisan. Do you know how long it takes to charm people from Maine? They're uptight white people coated with a hard exterior made from other uptight white people. While Obama negotiates on climate change, the Chinese government has forced China's entire tech industry...
