Stop the useless pandering

I'm glad to see that the Armenian resolution won't pass:

WASHINGTON — Key congressional opponents of an Armenian genocide resolution claimed Wednesday that they had the votes to kill the measure, as one-time supporters continued to abandon the controversial declaration.

I'm certainly sympathetic to the Armenians, but this happened over a hundred years ago, and poking Turkey in the eye now over it, when they are more or less indispensable to our troops in Iraq. I feel strongly that this is a waste of precious time to pass a meaningless motion that has no force of law to do anything. It's simply a way for politicians to pander to their constituents without doing anything worthwhile. [Note: Pelosi in particular is pandering]
