Obama: Strike 1

Obama's first chance to openly acknowedge the genocide has come and gone. He struck out. Very, very disappointing. April 24 is his next chance. I hope he doesn't blow that one, too.

Meanwhile, Armenia has agreed to build a rail link with Iran. It's good they're not depending on a benevolent Turkish opening of the borders for their future transportation links. Even if Turkey opens them tomorrow, there's no reason to believe they won't close them again at their first whim.
