Default Our Congress And Foreign Affairs

So the U.S. Congress passed a bill citing that all the killings of Armenians by the Turks 100 years ago should be deemed genocide. The Turks are either honked off or are just using the dumb move by our Congress to take the wraps off their plans to attack the Kurds in northern Iraq, which they've wanted to do for years anyway. Turkey has recalled it's ambassador to the U.S. and the Pentagon now has to plan to re-route the shipment of supplies to our troops in Iraq because of being denied use of Turkish air space. (Remember, it was the Turks who wouldn't let us use their air space or land-based facilities to launch the invasion of Iraq.) The State Department and the White House are trying to figure out who we tell our army to support, our "ally" Turkey or the newly liberated Iraqi Kurds when the Turkish army starts chasing the Kurdish rebels around in northern Iraq, the only peaceful part of the country.

Don't our Congressmen and Senators have anything better to do than pass laws about something that happened far back in history? Geez, it seems there are enough current and future problems for them to work on. How about some more hearings? Isn't it time for them to begin to hold hearings on the fairness of the BCS bowl system again?

Is it time to throw them all out of office and startover again? Would that do any good?
