>> genocide = 1. systematic killing of a racial or cultural group" p.s. Robert there are 100,000 Albanians living peacefully right now in Belgrade. Also there are 350,000 Hungarians in Novi Sad. Hardly genocide. They are defending their land against militant drug-funded terrorists that wish to separate it from their country and annex it to Albania. The U.S. would do the exact same thing ... it may happen to them in 2020 when Hispanics become the largest population in California; they may just decide to take back California.

Robert, Your answers show you have limited intellectual honesty. I'm not interested in debating with a liar.

Slob and Dog Face Milosevic are committing Genocide against the Kosovo Albanians. I call it Genocide, what do you call it? Is this why the Albanian population has been growing steadily in the region? Robert, do you call this genocide: "Demographics In Kosovo, an estimated 1.5 to 2 million Albanians outnumber the 150,000 to 200,000 Serbs. The population of Kosovo currently makes up approximately 20 to 25 percent of the total population of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Given present birth rates, ethnic Serbs could be a minority within Serbia by the year 2020." foxnews.com More on the same subject: "According to statistics relied on by the UNICEF office in Pristina, around 45 percent of Kosovars are under the age of 18, and 70 percent under the age of 30. Kosovo has the highest birth rate in Europe (23.1 per 1000 in 1989), and also the highest infant mortality rate (27.8 per 1000 live births). The number of children per family largely depends on the mother's social position -- from an average of 2.74 children for a woman living and working in the city, to an average of 6.74 for a housewife living in the countryside. If the birth-rate continues at its current level and Kosovo remains part of Serbia, Serbs could form a minority of the population in Serbia by 2020. UNICEF estimates that Kosovar families have on average 6.52 members. Meanwhile, according to data from the Serbian Statistical Office for 1996, the percentage of Serbs in Serbia has fallen to 62 percent; less than 50 percent of live births are children of Serb nationality; and Serb couples have on average 0.9 children. In 1996, 38,805 Albanians were born in the province and 5,482 died, compared with 4,127 Serb births and 2,008 deaths. In other words, while the current population ratio of Albanians to Serbs in Kosovo is roughly 9 to 1, the growth rate is 16 to 1. "
