Resolutions

Ok I have to burn yet again lol.
This resolution recently passed in Congress about condemning the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization is just asinine. In some ways its a self fulfilling prophecy. We call them "evil" which pisses them off and makes them posture. We then in turn posture back. There is only one way this ends, and that’s an attack by one side or the other. We are making another Cold War only this time its with the Middle East and Iran instead of Russia. Another way to look at it is crusading in the 21st century. Its once again Christian extremists versus Muslim extremists in the Middle East. Neither side is in the right! Both are violating their "holy books" by waging war and saying "we are the best not you".
Another recent resolution called the Ottoman Turks' actions against Armenian Christians as genocide. It was almost 100 years ago! Why does this have any merit in today's world? I mean if the Congress is going to hold a vote to call that genocide then why stop there? I believe that the Crusades, our treatment of Native Americans, slavery, etc were ALL genocide. Not to mention everything that is going on in Africa. You can pass all the resolutions you want but it won't change the past. What needs to happen is PREVENTING it from happening to begin with which IS possible to do.
