: Oh, I totally agree with you that killing is killing and it is wrong, I totally agree with that. I also feel for the other side!! I think it's terrible what is going on. And think of the children!! In your post before you said that the same thing is going on today that did with the Nazis, and I simply wanted to say that it isn't the exact same thing. I still think it is wrong, and should be stopped! I was just pointing out that it's not genocide. I'm sorry if I have offendend you, because I feel the same way you do about it. Sorry again.

That's all right Meg, no offense taken. I think all we had here is a misunderstanding over a word. Technically speaking, genocide means the killing of man/men, as in humanity, from the Latin root "genus" - kind, race I believe (sorry, it's been four years since Latin class.) IMHO this can certainly be applied to the current situation in Kosovo.
