Right now, the private sector is considered to be at the core of where all our greed resides. Government is seen as the one great conduit to mitigating against it. As readers of this blog know, I'm highly skeptical of this view.
As I read about the Armenian genocide - a historical event Turkey vehemently denies was methodically orchestrated - and the Holocaust later on, it's interesting note how the murder of peaceful citizens were ordered by...government.
The United States is caught between Armenian calls to recognize the genocide and Turkey who happens to be a crucial ally and regional super power with the second largest army in NATO. Thus far, Turkey's alliance has proven more important. Even President Obama, who said there was a genocide while on the campaign trail, has never used it as President.
