Sarko Gets One Right
The French have passed a law making it illegal to deny the existence of the Armenian Genocide.
I don't approve laws forbidding speech, but I DO approve of pushing back on the Turkish aggressive policy of denial and disinformation regarding historical fact.
The cynic in me thinks that Nicolas Sarkosy was motivated by the political calculus that bashing Turks would sell with the Neanderthal set in the upcoming election though.
One final note: Serdar Argic, eat my shorts.
