You are OK with non-Americans being killed in massive numbers. You are not OK with Americans being killed in massive numbers, so you are not unsympathetic to all deaths as seen in certain pscyhoses, but only to non-American ones. So you are not psychotic but you are not against genocide, killing of a certain group of people of "a national, ethnical, racial or religious group", as long as they are not Americans. From the link you have provided that quite unnecessarily defines "genocide": ------------------------------------------- In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. ----------------------------------------------------- The only difference between the above definition and your stance is that you do not particularly have the intent to destroy them all. As I have said, you would not initiate genocide, but if it happened around you, as long as they are non-Americans, you would not mind the killing of a certain group of people in massive numbers. A lot of people are going to be killed if there is armed conflict with Iraq Oh yeah? Since when? I thought the US army would go in and do a quick "regime change". I did not hear about a lot of people going to be killed...
