A rose by any other name is still a rose. Genocide is just a form of war. Just because it's a slaughter doesn't make it not a war. Isn't the role of American soldiers to keep the peace? We went after Irag because we were afraid of them rising up and causeing problems for the mideast and the rest of the world. Yes, police keep the peace but, it is still a war against crime. Officers go on the offensive all the time to stop drug lords and mafia. What's the difference? I think YOUR logic is fouled. All you have to stand on is that in the dictionary the definitions aren't word for word the same. Come on....Genocide is war....use your own intellect. I took a pole at my office which asked simply: is genocide war. There were some I don't knows but 99% of them said yes! out of at least 30 people. (shrugging shoulders)what else do you want me to say?

    - Anouther thing...Genocide and Cold are both forms of war. Doughnuts and bagels are both forms of baked goods. A doughnut is a baked good just as genocide is war. (NT) -- Crysknife, 10:26:32 06/20/03 Fri

        I am tired of this. Everyone I know agrees with me. This is my last post here. -- Crysknife, 18:19:41 06/20/03 Fri
        You seem to think I am somehow mitigating genocide -- IDAHO, 21:09:48 06/20/03 Fri
