A few thousand is far from "killing off all of its men", especially during an ongoing war. It would be a war crime, yes, but a genocide?

It would be considered part of a program of genocide if Srebernica seemed to be only an installment thereof. That’s what many people thought was happening. And don’t forget about the organized rapes and ethnic cleansing against non-Serbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u49unD69Lqs&feature=related
If Ante Gotovina can be put on trial because his troops committed 150 murders and ethnically cleansed 200-250,00 Serbs out of Croatian controlled territory then how can the Serbs not be guilty or at least deserving of trials for doing those same things on a greater scale?
Look at Dafur. Everybody calls it genocide because 200-400,000 people have been killed AND BECAUSE OF THE ORGANIZED RAPES, AND ETHNIC CLEANSING.
“Genocide” is bad therefore the word is applicable to any action or opinion opposed by the left.
