I spent 1,200 hours working on Tom Udall's 1998 first campaign for Congress, and I, like many others in this district, voted to elect him because of his integrity, his sense of the environment and of justice, and his outstanding work during eight years as attorney general. I didn't expect him to take orders from whatever inflamed portion of the public has something to say on any national scale, but, rather, to exercise his carefully considered judgment on issues and on specific votes.

In 2007, the Foreign Affairs committee approved a similar "genocide" resolution. However, it was never referred to the floor of the House due to intense opposition by the administration of President George W. Bush backed by the powerful "Israel Lobby," which has frequently - intervened in Congress on behalf of Turkey since the late 1980s when Ankara and Israel began building a strategic alliance.
Israeli-Turkish ties have become increasingly strained in recent years, particularly since Israel's "Cast Lead" military campaign in Gaza, which Erdogan strongly denounced in a heated exchange with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in late January last year, just days after the offensive had ended.
In the last year or so, however, officials of American pro-Israel group...
