→[[Genocide]]
This seems a fairly straightforward issue to me. I have seen no definition of genocide outside of this site's article that requires that genocide be carried out by a government. The UN has not defined genocide this way, and the State Department states explicitly that genocide occurred in Bosnia. [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2868.htm] Based on these facts, I think the definition in the article should be corrected, and the Srebrenica massacre should be reinserted as an example of genocide. What are your thoughts? [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 21:42, 13 December 2007 (EST)

:I don't know enough about Srebrenica to know if it was genocide. I don't see the value in labeling anything as a "genocide". Call it a killing and then work on stopping it. All this arguing over what is and is not a genocide just ends up offending and distracting people -- in the mean time the body count rises.
