>>Which, of course, the nuking of two cities was *not.*
Sure was. A genocide need not wipe out an entire race of people. It can wipe out an entire class, such as those residing in a particular area...
>>But the a-bombs were no more genocide than the Jap firebombing of Shanghai was genocide.
As I stated, America was not alone...

Ah. So "genocide" gets another definition. This also applies to the genocide at the World Trade Center, the genocide at the Pentagon, the genocide in Waco, the genocide in Oklahoma City.
OK. Now that "genocide" has been defined to be nothing more than killing more than one person in a single location, what are we goign to call efforts to wipe out distinct ethnic, cultural or religious groups?
So...we were committing genocide by laying seige to Atlanta during the Civil War?
