Blamed for it? They did it, deny it and modern day turkey says they were victims of genocide by greeks and armenians.

George Bush admitted that 1.5 million Armenians were killed. He is just arguing with Congress over whether or not that is a bad thing. He is not in violation of French law.

No for several reasons:
1. The French have not passed the bill. "The bill, proposed by the Socialists and opposed by the government, needs approval from the Senate and president."
2. He never denied the Armenian Genocide. He opposed legislation that would condemn the Armenian Genocide.
3. Even if he did deny it, he is not under French jurisdiction as he is in the US
4. In most cases, the head of state of any country receives diplomatic immunity in countries that have diplomatic relations.

No, it's called Diplomatic Immunity. Same reason that raghead can come to the U.S. from Iran and deny the Holocaust. And I don't think Bush has denied the Armenian Genocide, He just doesn't think Turkey should be blamed for it.

Karen is physically powerful. There are some countries he can't circulate to, and the comparable is going for individuals in his administration. the main significant reason however is as a results of the fact the common public of conservatives interior the rustic are authoritarians so as that they do no longer have faith interior the guidelines that have been violated, so as that they are effectively, and illegally annulling the regulation. different countries could by no potential take criminal action against yet another chief from a extremely effective usa. So Bush and Cheney would be allowed to circulate unfastened as conflict criminals, in spite of the actuality that fortuitously Cheney would be leaving us quickly.

Diplomatic Immunity
There is no denial here. There is severe political implications that could come from this, including expansion of the war and loss of a NATO allie in Turkey. The timing is aweful. Why did Congress wait almost 100 years to pass this resolution? Could there be alterior motives involved?

No, he never denied it.
the democrats convinced Newt Gingrich not to vote on this same measure a few yrs ago because it would put our guys in the no fly zone in Iraq in danger. Now they want our guys in Iraq to be in danger. I call that treason, honey.
