DISCLAIMER:  This is just to provoke thought, I am in no way advocating
	     or condoning the "Holocaust".

Sometime near the start of this century (the date escapes me now) the
Turkish people (or their government) embarked upon a program of genocide
against the Armenians.  They were very successful, and there are not many
Armenians left in the world.  There were minor outcrys about this 
attrocity from around the globe, but no major sanctions.  No one now
holds world wide rememberance weeks, nor makes major motion pictures
about this subject.
There are two reasons for this.
   1) There were not enough Armenians spread around the rest of the
      world to effectively sway opinion.
   2) Those left did not do (and don't do each year) as effective a
      job of PR as the Jewish community.
I don't think what happened to one is any worse than what happened to
the other.  Why don't we cry for the Armenians unborn?
