How many bodies constitute genocide? It appears that the body count was much lower than anticipated in Kosovo. How can that be? Also, how are we justified in killing civilians by indiscriminant bombings of cities based upon erroneous information about a "genocide"?

1% of a country's population massacred and deported in three days is "genocide" under the Genocide Convention which the US signed.

Think of it as Building (National) Socialism in One County.

There's a radical difference between unintentionally bombing innocent civilians while pursuing military targets and tying the hands of prisoners of war behind their backs and blowing their brains out one at a time at point blank range with pistols. Or shoving a thousand prisoners into a barn and machine gunning the occupants until all are dead. If you can't see that, you're not fit to be part of the discussion.
