Part1: The New York Times record 1911-1922."All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke.Melville Chater in 1925 in his article "History's greatest trek" coined the phrase "holo-caust", to describe the Pontic Greek, Armenian and Assyrian Christian genocides in Asia Minor and is also quoted in the book by Colin Tatz "With intent to destroy" p18. Holocaust is a Greek word which literally means "total annihilation". A very accurate description of what happened to the Pontic Greeks, Armenian and Assyrian Christians between 1914 and 1924 in Asia Minor. So we are fully justified in using it as a tag in the video.The only argument today is how many million Christians died? The accepted estimates by scholars today are more than two million Christians were exterminated. Out of them, at least 353,000 Pontic Greeks were annihilated.The term "geno-cide" is also Greek and literally means "killing of a people, Nation, kin" again a very appropriate description of what was attempted in Asia Minor against the Pontic Greeks, the Armenian and the Assyrian Christians. The Turkish word is "soy-kirim" with the same meaning soy=kin and kirim=slaughter. The Hebrew root of the word comes from the Greek also.Taner Akcam in his 2006 book "A Shameful Act" defines genocide as: "the partial or complete destruction of an ethnic, national, racial or religious group, whether in periods of peace or war" p.9. Again our tag is justified. Excerpts from Akcam's book can be found here:http://books.google.com/books?id=-RHl...,M1As for the term Pontus or Pontos is from the Greek short for "Euxeinos" meaning friendly and "Pontus" or "Pontos" that means sea. Trapezous was founded by Ionian Greeks in 756 BC. The Pontic Greeks lived in the area of Pontus or Pontos for over 2700 years. Again out tag is justified.Excerpts from death march survivor Thea Halo's book, "Not Even My Name", is here:http://books.google.com/books?id=F-oF...,M1An interview with Thea Halo, by Khatchig Mouradian is, halfway down the page, here:http://www.aztagdaily.com/interviews/...The executioners, never read the document, the great Virginian wrote, America's finest hour: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". Thomas Jefferson, Declaration Of Independence, 4th of July 1776.John Kenneth Galbraith, said: "Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups."A chilling account of Turkish atrocities by George Horton US Consul general of the Near East can be found here:http://www.aina.org/books/tboa/tboa.htmAs US House of Representatives Allyson Y. Schwartz D, PA said: "The 20th century taught us how far unbridled evil can and will go when the world fails to confront it. It is time that we heed the lessons of the 20th century and stand up to these murderers. It is time that we end genocide in the 21st century."

Books Review

Pshhh I'm cooler than Ava. AND Pippi. Arundhati Roy The God of Small Things 1997, Flamingo 340 pages Book bought in: Moab, Utah, USA Seldom while reading have I found my heart aching and my eyes watering when only at page 5. The God of Small Things, set in India, is a story of a family torn apart by the wish to love, but more so, the desire to be loved. Seen through the eyes of Estha and Rahel (twins, one soul), the story, which starts off with the funeral of the twins' cousin Sophie Mol, unravels through memories and the personal histories of the characters involved. A tragic plot – but in that sense also refreshing. Nowadays we live in a society which longs mostly for happy endings. Ah, society. Oppressor of many, because what matters is what the masses think is right and best. What is it about our constant worry of what others would think? In this novel, and perhaps through it, Roy confronts an irrational society which tries to decide how individuals should live and love. Sadly, a society kept alive by the very people it tries to control. Even if it means sacrificing romance, friendship, family, children's innocence. Children, innocent. Children, Estha and Rahel. Children, unaware of the cruelty against those defying society – those who'd rather follow their hearts for a chance of happiness. And that is what makes this book a jewel. The childlike view on the horrible consequences of trying to make a decision for yourself, in a world full of (let's face it) stupid ideals and morals. The childlike view you kind of wish we'd all still have. The childlike view that sees no black or white. Communist or capitalist. Religious or atheist. Rich or poor. But which instead sees silver jets in a blue church sky. A Fountain in a Love-in-Tokyo. 5/5. January 9th 2007. This was no easy book to review. And it is not necessarily an easy book to read. But I sincerely hope you will give it a try. No group images/awards/invites (that goes for admin invites too) wanted in my comments. I'm trying to quit groups, not join more. Next: The Witch of Portobello, by Paulo Coelho. Edit: finished that one. Review being posted either January 15th or 16th. Copyright © Karin Elizabeth. All rights reserved.
