What are you talking about? "... guess you would not..." who the hell spoke of the shiites in Iraq - me?

An American genocide researcher constructed a six criterias modell for risk assessment and early warning sign concerning genocide. 1) earlier experience in mass killings or genocide, 2) social unrest, 3)ethnical minorities forming an elite, 4) ideologies that exclude certain people, 5) type of regime and 6) degree of trade relations with the international community.

Sudan, Burma, Burundi, Rwanda and Kongo-Kinshasa fit all six criterias and are the probable hot spots,

China, Algeria, Uganda and Somalia fit four criterias and are possible hot spots and

Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Ethiopia fit three criterias and must be followed closely,

There is evidently a much more refined method with over 70 factors being weighed in today.

I however do not know whether the mass killings in Iraq of Shiites constitute genocide, they very well could. The Shiites make out 60 percent of the population in Iraq. I know one thing though. Many of the dead Shiites died as a result of a "uprising" after the last gulf war. Sounds familiar?

And???
The UN is useless, Kofi Annon has spoken MANY HUNDREDS of times in RESPECT for dictators and mass murderers.
He even spoke lovingly of a form of torture where an oil filled tire is stuck around the neck of a tvictim and lit.
Said he loves the smell of it.

The UN sits by and lets atrocities occur.
And yes, there ARE better alternatives.
SOMEONE, anyone, to DO THE RIGHT THING.
