The massacre of 7000 men is not genocide? OK, how about "mass murder"?

I really have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who argues, "hey, we executed 7000 men but it wasn't genocide, it's only mass murder". Oh, sure, that makes it all better. (/sarcasm)

It does - or is America's killing of the same number of Iraqi men fleeing the Kuwaiti "Highway of Death" guilty of genocide? Most of those Muslims killed were killed in a protracted gunfight with the Serbs - shot and shelled at as they were retreating with Serbs in hot pursuit looking to get back at that nest of head hunting Muslims (yes, Srebrenica's Muslim "defenders" practiced decapitation of their enemies).

First this "7000 men" is a bogus number - the real number of mujaheddin killed in battle for Srebrenica is a few hundred since most of the Second Muslim Corps escaped to Tuzla. (The number of "200,000 Muslims" killed in Kosovo or in Bosnia is also phony)

Second, killing enemy in the battle and even execution of the captured enemy soldiers is not a genocide. At worst it can be a war atrocity.
