re:"If all those other wars were pre-emptive, your point would be well made..."

Indeed, Kosovo was pre-emptive. President Clinton, did not want to see another Bosnia, which led to the air war against Yugoslavia. Vietnam was fought, largely to halt the expansion of Communism - because Kennedy believed in the domino theory (at least, that's what he said).

re:"There is no such word as democide."

Democide may not be a word in the dictionary, but it is being used by Universities and their publications:

"State Violence in the Twentieth Century - Genocide, Democide, and The Holocaust"
washington.uwc.edu

"BEHIND THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT TOWARD DEMOCRACY:
POWER, WAR, REVOLUTION, AND DEMOCIDE"
