>>>>>> don't know if what happened in Srebernica qualifies as genocide or not, but the writer is wrong here. Historically, one of the ways a conqueror would destroy a vanquished tribe or nation was by killing all of its men<<<<<

Muslims of Srebrenica were not a distinct ethnic group, tribe or a nation. They were merely a fraction of Bosnian Muslim population living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were combatants, not civilians. Bosnian Muslim men from nearby Bosnian Muslim Zepa enclave were not harmed.

Genocide is determined when there is AN INTENT to destroy an ethnic group AS SUCH.

The only genocide that occured in Bosnia is genocide of Serbs and Jews during WWII.
