Steve Kerr, Guns and Islamic Terror

It's predictable.  Steve Kerr is all over the television screen as we watch the NBA finals.   No one mentions that Kerr's father, president of the American University in Beirut, was assassinated by Islamic Jihad, the predecessor of Hezbollah, and that the Kerr family came to the Middle East when Steve's grandfather volunteered to help the survivors of the genocide that Sunni-Muslim dominated Turkey perpetrated on the Armenians.

It's a bizarre world view the "progressive" Left, including the Arizona Republic's Steve Benson, has created where America is responsible for Islamic violence.  This pretense requires  lots of creative juggling.   Nicholas Kristof, for example, condemns America for not intervening to save the Armenians.   Did he think we should have wagged our fingers harder, which surely would have gotten the Turks' attention, or is the Left condemning the US for not putting boots on the ground to save the Armenians?
