The "universal constituency" is something The WIP recognizes in our coverage of the US Presidential race. Our writers report first hand the effect US domestic policy has on their nations. What baffles me is this question of whether or not it is a good time to speak out against the mass deportation and murder of Armenians. It is very sad that the need to improve our image abroad may be the Democrats motivation and not the genocide itself. It will be a good day when we don't ever find ourselves again debating after the fact if it is the right political climate for denouncing genocide.
