To repeat, the word genocide has been used by the Kurds to describe the massacres at Halabja and other gassed villages, the elimination of 182,00 civilians who are missing and never heard from, the systematic killing of village leaders throughout the Kurdish region. According to the President of the leading Kurd group, the genocide has been abated given the protection of the US and UK of the Kurds, but it still is going on. Hundreds of Kurdish villages have been destroyed. I feel that fits well within the definition you provided. You don't think this wasn't deliberate, it wasn't systematic, and it wasn't destructive, and it that it wasn't aimed at a racial, political, or cultural group? I am interested in your side. Do you think it was random, constructive, and diffuse? Sorry for the sarcasm, but, frankly, Sun, I pulled punches. I love it when you lecture me on rationality and post what you did. fred
