Forfeiture of Our Moral Stranding

I just wrote the following e-mail to Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

Dear Speaker,
I am one of your supporters and only wish that you were able to be more effective. Unfortunately, you have limited power (as opposed to the President's understanding of his office!).

I write because you justified the committee's vote on a measure to state out position on the Armenian genocide. While I agree with the truth of the matter, I think that our past several years have resulted in our losing any authority to tell others anything about what is right or wrong. We should admit that we have done such horrible things and have forfeited any right to statements of principle for other nations.
