I haven't yet commented on the decision this week for the USA to label the conduct of ISIS in Syria and Iraq as genocide. The only possible response is this: Hey what took you so long?
ISIS has been killing or enslaving people for being Christian, Yazidi or Shiite for the last two years. Tens of thousands have died. Many more have been forced out of their homes and their countries. It is ethnic cleansing on a scale not seen in recent years. Nevertheless, the State Department "considered" whether or not to label this genocide as "genocide" for more than a year.
Calling the conduct of ISIS genocide does not require the USA to do anything in particular. There was no reason for the intolerable delay in action by the State Department. Nevertheless, the people at the department took all that time to come to the obvious (and only rational) conclusion.
It's hard to believe that we taxpayers actually have to pay these idiots to do things like this.
