The Japanese have a concept of "inside, outside". You don't want to show anything but strength to the outside. I saw a program on the Kobe earthquake this week, and one of the things that delayed speedy rescue efforts is that the prefecture's leadership wanted to contain the problem "inside" and keep Tokyo out of it. That didn't work. The head of the water dept. (water would have been useful in containing the fires) committed suicide over his department's failure. We could use a little bit of that sort of accountability in USA Gov't, but I fear it would bring with it a sort of feudal price. "I am responsible here ... also I am in complete charge." Looks like there's no free lunch.

While all genocide is committed against "others" there are plenty of examples of a people turning on themselves -- but it could hardly be termed genocide. Any attempt to kill off a religious or political group -- Protestants or Catholics (30 Years War). The KMT-CCP wars are an excellent example. The Sikh-Hindu, Hindu-Muslim wars in India are good. The Shia-Sunni wars. The wars of extermination between American Indian tribes are interethnic but intraracial.
